I beg to differ.  This is talking about where to cut the wasted tax dollars in FCPS schools.  Looking for $148 million in cuts FY2014.  AAP in elementary schools would be a good chunk to start with.  It is not necessary and as it exist today a waste of $10million in tax dollars.  Not to mention it is creating a community of divisiness, putting a lot of stress on very young children, offering a better education to a select few, creating wasteful spending, creating elitist entitled children, and bottom line wasting my tax dollars!!![/quote]

no, those who need it benefit from it very much.  State law requires a special program for advanced learners.[b]  A few disgruntled people like yourself not withstanding, AAP and TJ are an understandable source of pride for the FCPS.[/quote][/b]

It is way more than a few.   I'd be interested to see if buy-in and support for this program extends much beyond the families of the 18% of kids who get in.  And I say that as a parent who has had a child in AAP.   You are kidding yourself if you think this program is widely supported.  Sure FCPS administration loves it because it makes the system look good, but given what it has turned into, support is dwindling and as the county grows I would not be surprised to see these programs back in the base schools where they belong.[/quote]
