[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So would a center or LLIV program that doesn't overwhelm a school using either a Chesterbrook or Wolftrap/Flint Hill model be enough of a change to make AAP work for everyone? This seems to still work well enough for AAP students and bright students who don't qualify for AAP while not ostracizing anyone else in the school.[/quote]

One size does not fit all. FCPS is too diverse and too large a school system for that.  In the areas where there are high concentrations of AAP qualified students, the Chesterbrook model works well.  IN areas where there are few students per school grade that qualify, the center model works well.  [/quote]

That isn't what I was referring to. I think the Chesterbrook or Wolftrap/Flint Hill model can work well as a center model too. Yes, in areas where there are not high concentrations of AAP qualified students, a center is better I think and in areas where there are high concentrations of AAP students a LLIV program is better, however that doesn't mean the center has to have an entirely separate program separated from the GE kids at those schools. If it really is true that the AAP students don't want to interact with the GE students at these center schools for certain reasons, than the boundaries really should be redrawn to allow the GE students to go to other schools and make a center school an AAP only school for 3rd-6th grade. I don't think it's fair to the GE students left there in 3rd-6th grade to be marginalized at their own base school.[/quote]
