[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]What does a crystal ball have to do with it? It's all about the parents not a school. AAP isn't going to teach my kids to enjoy learning or do it independently. We value education, recognize there is more than one kind of intelligence and don't care if the kids don't go to an Ivy League school. Sure, there will be bumps along the way and they may get off the straight and narrow path (I know all about that!) but what school they go to isn't going to change any of that. Chill. [/quote]

What is it about you as a parent that guarantees all your children will all be intelligent and successful 20 years from now?  Is this something intrinsic like your unique DNA?  Or is it a recipe?[/quote]

Of course there are no guarantees!  But, their success in life will primarily be a result of parenting.  What school they go is highly unlikely to make any difference - especially when there are sufficient educational opportunities at every single school in FCPS.  Do you REALLY think that if your child doesn't get into the school of YOUR choice the child doomed to mediocrity?  Do you really think the school makes that much of a difference?  It doesn't.[/quote]
