[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS teacher here. It is really sad that parents put so much stock into AAP. Children will not suffer for being in base school.  When they are in high school, they all get the same choices.  Parents, get a life![/quote]

Parents always want what they perceive as "the best" for their kids.  It's human nature.  As a teacher it's easy for you to not put a lot of weight into AAP.  For regular everyday parents who aren't teachers, they see a program that's prized by FCPS and assume there must be a reason for that.  I encouraged my DC try out for swim team because I think it's good to be well rounded in life, not because I expect DC to be an Olympic swimmer or even make it to divisionals.  I was nervous waiting for that decision, not because I thought DC would suffer if DC didn't get on the team, but because I'm a parent who was excited for my child to expand her horizons.  Maybe there are people who would tell me to get a life and I'm sure she would have been fine if she hadn't made the team, but in the moment the mom emotions came out and I was nervous waiting for the decision.   I'm sure it's the same with the posters on this thread.  They have lives, being parent/cheerleader for their children.[/quote]

How much did your parents push you, to become what you are today.. Did you know what is going on with your children's mind and what his or her capabilities are in particular skill before pushing so hard ?[/quote]
Is this the "FCPS teacher" speaking again?  Hope not.[/quote]
