[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Glad to hear that parent meetings are integrated, but from the outside, it sure doesn't sound like it, and not just in DCUM.[/quote]

From the outside?  Where besides DCUM?  This why people throw around the word "crazies" - bc the AAP haters exaggerate and twist everything to sound so outrageous.  So outrageous that 'outsiders' believe that there are separate parent meetings  :roll: This is so far from reality for so much of FCPS.[/quote]

Hey, I'm not an AAP hater, so stop getting so rankled.  My friends with kids at our center talk as if they are in two different worlds.  Atleast their kids are getting served appropriately.  Things are out of kilter at our Title I.  There are a lot of different kinds of needs that need to be served.  Things fall through the cracks at every school.  If you don't see them, it doesn't mean they don't exist.

What can I say?  I'm glad you find FCPS with out any need for improvement?  Is your response to OP really that there's nothing to be done, because there's no problem except on DCUM?  I hope the truth is that you see that there is room for improvement.  I suspect you believe the scale of the problem is small and not worth discussing.[/quote]

Sigh.  I didn't say you were a hater - you are the 'outsider' that based on what you hear from the 'haters' believes that things are THAT segregated.  They are not.

I have a couple of kids in AAP and things are not always rosy and perfect for them just because they are in AAP.  Of course there is room for improvement.  Of course things fall through the cracks - at every level.  My issue is that I don't see any reasonable solutions that appease the haters - except to entirely eliminate AAP.  I think AAP serves a need, like many other differentiated programs that FCPS offers.  I don't have a problem discussing solutions, but it seems (after pages of pages of discussion) that nothing will satisfy APP haters until we all agree that all or most kids in this huge county can all handle the same curriculum. I don't think we'll ever get there.

I think the focus should be on improving Gen Ed and formalizing, standardizing levels 2 & 3 - because, really, it supposed to be about meeting kids where they are - but that is met with "as long as your precious level 4 isn't touched" I think FCPS already reaches as many students as it can identify for Level 4 - and if you as a parent don't agree, you can appeal.  There isn't an access issue.  [/quote]
