[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised the anti-AAP/anti-Center poster hasn't shown up yet. The Center model should stay for precisely this reason. There aren't enough kids at base schools to fill a class in each grade so they will either cluster and/or drop the academic threshold to include more kids in order to fill AAP seats. [/quote] Our ES has three classes per grade and one of those is AAP. I would guess that 1/2 of the kids in that class are not actually LLIV. If our school can do it, everyone's can.[/quote] We're at a school where the LLIV is a popularity contest. Can't wait until those kids get to middle school and high school and have to go through truly advanced curricula. I really wish that schools-based standards was't a thing and AAP was based solely on test scores. [b]I'm still livid that my child got low scores on the HOPE solely because we were new to the school and the teachers didn't know them[/b].[/quote] I am sorry this happened to you, and I would be livid too. The use of the new DEI “HOPE” scale is horrible and FCPS should never have done this. Before the HOPE reaches anything remotely academically-related, it informs the judge/committee of the child’s skin color and SES. They are literally judging children on the color of their skin instead of the content of their academic record.[/quote]
