[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]9:41- Agree. Never heard that segregation was good for anyone. Very surprised FCPS hasn't been sued yet over this model, particularly in light of the high percentage of kids who are in the program from certain schools. [/quote]

Those are really sweeping statements to make without having any backup. First you can't say the current model of "segregating" AAP students "never" works for "anyone."  In fact, AAP works very well for lots of people in FCPS, including AAP kids & their families, for example. Secondly, what would be the basis of your lawsuit (besides "my kid should have gotten in, life is unfair, I'm mad, etc.?)  FCPS may have a limited ability to "segregate" based on race, gender, disability, national origin, etc.  But, "not gifted"/GE is not one of these protected classes.  Finally, I am puzzled as to why you believe that you can sue FCPS for over-identifying AAP kids (as opposed to under-identifying them). Participation in AAP is voluntary.  Why would giving kids "on the fence" the benefit of the doubt make FCPS vulnerable from a litigation standpoint?

I get the policy objections to AAP. But the "someone should sue their sorry a@@es" movement seems half baked. [/quote]
