[quote=Anonymous]But you are concerned about any mainstreaming, it's even in your title and you keep mentioning it. I think the poster was trying to be helpful since you keep asserting that Wolftrap doesn't have a strong enough AAP program even though 3/4 of the children AAP eligible decide to stay instead of attending Louise Archer which is a top AAP center school. Louise Archer or Colvin Run being center schools will definitely have more AAP eligible children and will not mainstream plus could give your child an advantage if you are considering very high level programs in the future such as TJ. No one will dispute this. Other families though feel schools like Wolftrap and Oakton are challenging enough and are more interested in continuity for their child and appreciate that the school allows all children to have a high level of education. Your child is already at the school in a mixed classroom I'm assuming. You and your child should be able to make a decision whether mainstreaming for a few hours a week will be ok and if your child already has peers at the school that they enjoy and who will help challenge them.  There are some private children that start in 3rd grade, but most of the children will be the same.[/quote]
