[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue at Haycock is more specific than wanting some AAP kids reassigned. The parents specifically want to keep the McLean schools assigned to Haycock and lose the more diverse Falls Church schools assigned to Haycock...which is kind of silly considering that Haycock is in Falls Church.

There's a fair amount of disparity within FCPS in the number of schools served by the GT centers.  Churchill Road only serves three schools; Colvin Run serves two; McNair serves three.  In comparison, Haycock serves seven, Archer in Vienna serves eight and Belvedere over in Falls Church serves nine.   I can see why some people at Haycock might prefer to have another AAP center at a school like Stenwood or Cunningham Park and then have Shrevewood and Timber Lane reassigned to that center.  That would reduce the size of the AAP programs at both Archer and Haycock.  It doesn't necessarily mean that people think ill of the AAP kids from the Falls Church schools.

I don't think "the parents" speak with one voice, or in a single tone.  Maybe some are nasty and rub you the wrong way.  I'm also sure others are not.  But I don't think you should take it personally if some people just want to discuss what makes the most sense logistically going forward.
