[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think you can blame the Center principal here. If the guy needs the numbers to make two classes, he's left with no choice but to make you think the Center is superior so you won't stay at your base school. No brainer.
And if I'm that LLIV parent that gets to choose, what else would make me not go to the Center but a promise of a comparable experience? Otherwise, why would you stay? A class of half AAP kids and half non-AAP kids would not be the same experience that you get in a Center. That is pretty clear. So as soon as that happens, parents will fly out the door so fast that there will be no LLIV program. Not such a bad thing in my mind since I'm a gen ed parent and it sucks that my kid would be in a class of 26 when your super special star students is in a class under 20. [b]But I'm not going to throw these principals under the bus[/b] for trying to make their programs work. I agree with that PP who said it is a problem with the system. FCPS needs to get their heads out.[/quote]

Well I will then! It's not a principal's job to manipulate class size to the detriment of the gen ed students. It's unconscionable. I don't get the point of even having LLIV when there is a center a mile away. Sorry, but let them take their "super special star students" as you called them down the road and then our kids at the base school can have 20 in a classroom instead of 27! And can we talk about how they keep taking the best gen ed teachers and pulling them to teach the AAP classes? Worms. Can. Opened.[/quote]

PP, I agree with you - the other problem though is when the AAP classes at center schools start outnumbering the Gen Ed classes there.  This is our experience as parents of Gen Ed kids who attend a center (base school).  IMO, the biggest problem is that there are far too many AAP kids - period.  Taking so many at our center (Colvin Run) has made our Gen Ed classes dwindle.  Now the Gen Ed kids are the ones left with barely two classes.[/quote]
