[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree.  The Freedom Hill AAP kids should have never been sent from Louise Archer to Haycock. They should have just stayed at Louise Archer. Was it a switch for all grades or just the lower ones? I forget. So say those children can be grandfathered though.  Is there any other issue with the current proposal?  Seems like it alleviates a lot of overcrowding. [/quote]

If they would grandfather the current kids at Haycock and LA and build the new center starting with next year's third graders there would be a lot less angst.  One concern is that they intend to build it at Lemon Road (or so people believe -- of course FCPS isn't saying).  That would be a 45 minute commute for the Westbriar kids, so many of them would choose not to go.  Haycock and LA are such good centers partially because they have so many AAP kids.  The smaller centers don't generally seem to have as good of reputations.  I think without a critical mass of students, there aren't enough to have some of the activities that make the centers desirable (science olympiad, math contest, competition chess, etc.).  That's what I hear.  My kid isn't into that stuff, so it doesn't mean a lot to me, but it's a big deal to some people and a big reason why people choose the centers.[/quote]
