[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm  a Longfellow parent who will miss this peer group for my rising 6th grader. My 8th grader has found such a great group of new friends and like-minded kids from the Cooper kids and I know my 5th grader would have loved to have these additional peers.  It will be a less good experience for her if they are not allowed to come.[/quote]

Thank you for this! No one mentions any of the benefits to the kids that have come from having strong centers!

It seems as though the overcrowding mainly affects Kilmer-so why not do a phased approach with Kilmer transfers to Cooper for next year and see how that goes? I think the current Cooper population needs some time to absorb these changes-the school is used to being on the smaller side and the transfers from Kilmer alone are going to be overwhelming enough-the building is old and resources will be stretched![/quote]

So you think the importance of having a large AAP peer group at Longfellow should receive more attention, but that it would be a good idea to create a small center at Cooper with AAP kids who otherwise would have gone to Kilmer to "see how it goes"?

[b]I'm not seeing the logic here, other than perhaps you're just advocating for some way to keep the Cooper AAP kids at Longfellow until your own kid has finished middle school.  [/quote[/b]

Agreed.   The selfishness and entitlement on display here on the part of AAP parents/ AAP wannabes is astonishing. Do any of you realize how overcrowded Kilmer is?  Or how unfair what you're advocating is to the much larger group of kids who must content themselves with the leftovers after your kids have gotten their "special" classes?   Absurd that FCPS has allowed this to continue as long as it has.  [/quote]
