[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think  fcps should allow you to select gen ed if you don't want your kid in a center school.  Unfortunately if it is based on social issues you have to stay under doctors care an apply for a waiver every year.  Ridiculous in my opinion.[/quote]

You can always chose general education instead of center placement.  If the question is transferring schools, that is a different issue.  Nominally, the AAP center provides similar academics for Gen Ed as the non-center school.  In my area, Vienna, it probably is easy to get placement in Cunningham Park, but harder if not impossible to get placement in Vienna Elementary.[/quote]

You're missing the PP's point. He/She is saying that a gen ed kid should be able to select out of getting gen ed in a school that also acts as a center. PP wants child to be able to attend another school that only serves gen ed kids. The only way this can happen is if the child has a doctor's note saying there is some type of psychological hardship attending the gen ed/center school, or if the family has a childcare issue and can only get childcare in the catchment area of the non-center school.

Yeah, well, good luck with that.  [b]I don't think Virginia recognizes the "hostile educational environment" cause of action for parents of GenEd kids who think their children should be allowed to attend out-of-boundary schools with no AAP students[/b].   I think the best you can hope for is that FCPS will expand the availability of LLIV at more schools, so that the AAP population comprises a smaller percentage of students at the existing centers.

What, you mean "not wanting to go to school with THOSE kind of people" isn't a legitimate educational need? Shocking![/quote]

Seriously.  I mean, parents of AAP kids would [b]never, ever[/b], under any circumstances, complain that they don't want their kids in class with  Gen Ed students.   :roll: .[/quote]

Right. Because wanting your kids to have an education that's paced appropriately for their abilities is exactly the same thing as not wanting your gen ed kids to be near AAP students because of... reasons.

Seriously.  [b]There's a clear educational reason for the centers.[/b] I can't think of a single justification for allowing gen ed students to transfer out except "my going to this school makes my parents feel insecure."

Not sure that's worth bussing for, really. [/quote]

Care to explain what the "clear educational reason" is for centers when most AAP kids already have LLIV in their neighborhood schools?  Absolutely none.  I still haven't seen one logical, factual reason in answer to this question.[/quote]
