[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone add anything substantive to this conversation for Pete's sake?? I am truly interested to know Principal Randall's attitude about all of this.[/quote]

Arlene very much wants Cooper to become a center. That said, she emphasizes that she runs her school as a family and will not have a school with an "us vs. them" mentality (much like what we see expressed on these boards). Her philosophy is that the school should meet students where they are and provide an appropriately rigorous program to elevate them in their learning. She explains that AAP students will be clustered together for their core classes and will be with their peers for the others; there will not be isolation as is the case at some other schools.

Bottom line: She has spent the last 4 years developing the program they are currently offering, and she wants the students zoned for Cooper to come to the school now that they offer the program.[/quote]

This is not what I've heard at all.  [/quote]

Call her and ask. Cooper's phone number is 703-442-5800. [/quote]

If she's expressing any enthusiasm at all about this plan, it's only because she's been strong armed into it.  She originally was opposed to making Cooper an AAP center, as she knew most Cooper families were opposed to it.  [b]Nothing like ruining a nice, community school by turning it into a center.[/quote][/b]
 
Say hello to Westbriar![/quote]

Yep, that's a perfect example.  Looks like Cooper's going to be ruined just like Westbriar was.  [/quote]
