[quote=Anonymous]Where did you get the WRONG impression that 'current Cooper families do not want their school to become a center'? As a current Cooper community member, I want Cooper as AAP center. I talked to several of our neighbors, they all want Cooper as AAP center too!

Since Cooper already has a LLIV program and is significantly under enrolled, it makes complete sense to turn it into a full fledged center to relieve some of the over crowding pressure at Kilmer and soon to be at Longfellow.  Turning Thoreau's LLIV program into a full fledged center also will relieve some pressure from Kilmer.  It is basic student management with the benefit of more students attending their base school with their neighborhood friends.[/quote]

What, exactly, would change from simply offering LLIV to designating it a "full-fledged center"?  Gold-plated science labs?  Marble bathrooms?  Teachers who are PhDs?  Please, enlighten us:  why should Cooper be a "full-fledged center"?  Is it just the name change so you can save face when you tell your friends that your child attends a "center" rather than a normal school?

I'm wondering why Cooper is apparently just fine for the "regular" kids, but in order for it to be AAP-worthy, changes have to be made.  If anyone wonders why current Cooper families do not want their school to become a center, you need only read some of the nonsense spewed by entitled AAP parents.  Who would want that element at their school?[/quote][/quote]
