[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think they should have center only schools.  It would solve the haves v. have nots problem.  I have one AAP and one not.  The not is on a school with LLIV.  I think it's totally unfair that the LLIV kids get their own (much smaller) class and the "have nots" get a class twice the size and shockingly little differentiation (i.e. homeroom homogenous instruction for math and LA).  The difference is appalling between what my 2 kids (one center in AAP on one Gen Ed in a non-center school with LLIV) get.  I'm beyond pissed off.[/quote]

FCPS was always like that and I assume has gotten worse especially for those schools with over 25% in Local level iv.  We were in a district with only a 2x week pullout for GT and the teachers differentiated in the classroom.  Math and reading groups with variations in science/social studies.  This is the fault of oversight by instructional services and cluster directors.  The AAP dept 's power and responsibilities have grown since we moved here.

The sheer volume in AAP represents an absurdity that at the middle school level all are not taught in base schools.[/quote]

I would think local level IV would cause far more drama since many of the kids are pupil place by the pricipal instead of selected by an anonymous committee.[/quote]

No principal placed kids in our LLIV, so the LLIV class is half the size of the regular classrooms.[/quote]

I posted "sheer volume..." and it is absurd and irresponsible that your principal did these ridiculously inequitable class sizes.   Also the level iv and all aap include the parental referrals  comprised of those who did not make the generous pool and those who made the pool but not the final fcps cut.

Therefore there can be more qualified kids than some in level iv or aap.[/quote]
