[quote=Anonymous][quote]The thread is a circle jerk for a few parents who don’t like the increase in Hispanic kids in areas like Herndon or are upset their kids didn’t get into AAP. Complaining about it is their full-time occupation.

Those who are satisfied will always be less likely to post, both because they take their good schools for granted and it’s exhausting to argue with haters who always want the last word.[/quote]

My kids are in AAP (and a very diverse AAP center in a "good" pyramid), and have high scores, and I am nonetheless very dissatisfied with FCPS.  This is not bitterness or racism.  The schools are very overcrowded because home construction has outpaced school construction in certain areas; you can't dispute that.  The curriculum teaches to the SOLs.  There are significant discipline issues.  Teachers are underpaid compared to neighboring districts.  If this is the "best" school system in the country, it makes me worry what other schools are like -- because it's not good.[/quote]
