[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The best idea is to have a designated magnet in each pyramid that can support one that are 100% AAP.  For the pyramids that can't, the district should keep the center model.[/quote]

What works well in one part of the county is not necessarily the best solution in another part of the county.  Fairfax County is just so huge.[/quote]

Couldn't agree more with the schools being 100% AAP particularly at the middle school level. It would solve the problem of an "us vs them" mentality that goes on currently in center schools. And if parents don't like the long bus times to get to the center, drive your kids!

[b]Our center elementary school does a great job with 2E kids, so the generalization that AAP is filled with ill behaved kids that are a teachers nightmare is false[/b]. Also, if you look at some of the highest achieving men and women in our society, a lot of them have brains that are wired differently-I am glad there is a place for such kids to have a great peer group and be accepted in AAP. No situation is perfect, even if you shell out a fortune for private, but it works mos of the time (at least for us).[/quote]

Our elementary center also does a wonderful job with 2E kids, but to say that AAP is for kids who behave is completely incorrect.  Those classes are WILD, even with the teachers being very skilled at reaching those types of kids.

The pipe dream of AAP full of quiet, well behaved, compliant pleaser students is just that, a pipe dream.  [/quote]
