[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we all just agree that we hate having AAP Centers?[/quote]

I can certainly agree with this.  They create far too many issues, resentment, and divisiveness.  [/quote]

I can certainly disagree with this as my student does not have a peer group at the base school. (He was subjected to frequent bullying, among other things.)[/quote]so a child who just misses the cut off for eligibility in your school has to stay and get bullied? You bought your house around certain school boundaries. But your kid gets the option to leave. Hmmm[/quote]

Exactly.  Complete inequity.[/quote]

I agree. Complete inequity for the one or two students at the base school who are Center eligible. They should be at a Center.[/quote]

So one or two (or even a handful) of kids at each base school should dictate how and where the rest of the kids in FCPS go to school?  No.[/quote]

What works in one part of the county does not necessarily work in another part of the county.

The services a child receives should not be dependent on zip code.[/quote]

No one is saying that it should be (dependent on zip code).  However, if the services a child needs can be provided at his base school, then those are the services he should receive.  And I think most people would admit that the vast majority of AAP kids don't "need" anything that Gen Ed kids wouldn't also need.[/quote]

I will not speak for what other children need to receive or do receive for services. I will, however, speak for my child and do my best to advocate for his needs. He needs gifted services and the services he received at his base school for Level II were "ok" but the services he receives now at the Center school seem to be a much better fit. The staff and teachers also are addressing his needs as outlined in his IEP and his 504 Plan, something we really struggled with at the base school. [/quote]
