[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think  fcps should allow you to select gen ed if you don't want your kid in a center school.  Unfortunately if it is based on social issues you have to stay under doctors care an apply for a waiver every year.  Ridiculous in my opinion.[/quote]

You can always chose general education instead of center placement.  If the question is transferring schools, that is a different issue.  Nominally, the AAP center provides similar academics for Gen Ed as the non-center school.  In my area, Vienna, it probably is easy to get placement in Cunningham Park, but harder if not impossible to get placement in Vienna Elementary.[/quote]

You're missing the PP's point. He/She is saying that a gen ed kid should be able to select out of getting gen ed in a school that also acts as a center. PP wants child to be able to attend another school that only serves gen ed kids. The only way this can happen is if the child has a doctor's note saying there is some type of psychological hardship attending the gen ed/center school, or if the family has a childcare issue and can only get childcare in the catchment area of the non-center school.

Yeah, well, good luck with that.  [b]I don't think Virginia recognizes the "hostile educational environment" cause of action for parents of GenEd kids who think their children should be allowed to attend out-of-boundary schools with no AAP students[/b].   I think the best you can hope for is that FCPS will expand the availability of LLIV at more schools, so that the AAP population comprises a smaller percentage of students at the existing centers.

What, you mean "not wanting to go to school with THOSE kind of people" isn't a legitimate educational need? Shocking![/quote]
