[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I have no agenda other than to end the arguing and make FCPS better. As I said, our experience is close to great at our school. It's integrated. Level 2 and 3 students get extra enrichment most years and the only reason they don't some years is because of lack of funds which I hope can be fixed. Level 4 students have an advanced curriculum most of the day with additional enrichment for some. Special ed needs some work at our school, but that is a separate issue. I'm just tired of hearing all the back and forth accusations and I'm tired of FCPS not doing anything about the situation. The arguments that start out "You don't understand.... are pointless. I believe everyone understands what each side wants. They just don't seem to be willing to work together. All I'm looking for is for the back and forth accusations to end.

I just wanted people to write in their suggestions.  I support change A because it will help AAP here and it will help general ed here. I'm willing to listen to any suggestions and hope others are too.[/quote]
You really need to identify your school.  Then you need to write your own suggestion, backed up with the kind of evidence you expect from others.  You also need to allow others to vent, with the hope that they will identify their own school.  Sounds like your school is doing OK, my school also is doing OK.  These problems are not system wide.  The Gen Ed folks experiencing the problems are likely to have their own ideas and not care much about making AAP better.  Why would they?[/quote]

I've already identified enough about the school. It attempts to integrate. It attempts to teach everyone at the most advanced level they can handle. It attempts to help students who are struggling. It's not a perfect school though and not all schools work the same way so I don't want people to get hung up on those details. FCPS also has other issues than just AAP that muddy why AAP and general ed don't always work well.

I don't know why parents in FCPS don't want all students to do well. I guess I'm just hoping there are enough parents with kids both in AAP and general ed or who just care about making the system work for everyone and have some good suggestions and are willing to be flexible. My kids don't attend a center, so I can't make suggestions for schools I don't have enough details on. It's obvious there are some problems though that could be fixed with some tweaks to the boundaries and the way the program is implemented.[/quote]
