[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would assume that within 5 years, every school will offer AAP, centers will be a thing of the past, and then the gen Ed parents will cry "tracking" and it will all disappear.

What they're currently doing is tracking, is it not?  Segregated AAP/Gen Ed classes?  [/quote]

It absolutely is.  I guess it just isn't obvious in the schools that AREN'T centers?[/quote]

I can't believe FCPS is actually planning to *add* centers in the future.  Seriously?[/quote]

Yes, because there are overcrowded centers (such as Greenbriar West). The solution? Add more centers to siphon off kids from the overcrowded ones.[/quote]

No, the obvious solution is to simply send all kids back to their base schools.  Problem solved.[/quote]

[b]Such an approach does not meet the needs of the students.[/quote][/b]

in the less wealthy suburbs perhaps.  but i don't think anyone in McLean, Vienna or Great Falls, for example, can say that their kid needs to be bused to a center because they can't find a critical mass of their intellectual peers in the local neighborhood.  The kids whose needs wouldn't be met by this approach are in different parts of the county and certainly adjustments could be made so that these kids could still go to centers.

That's one reason why McLean schools are starting to offer the AAP curriculum to everyone.  Sooner or later the fraud that is AAP in these parts will be obvious to everyone -- including some smart lawyers who realize it is tracking, renamed.  [/quote]
