[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]15:09 Do you also realize that there are more private school parents in APS than in FCPS and that there is also this triple track of private school and homeschool parents that try to escape FARM students? There are also APS parents that switch to FCPS for AAP. It's all a balancing act. I still think some of the boundary adjustments and the IB decisions have led to more segregation than AAP in FCPS. If anything AAP helps keep some higher income people in lower income neighborhoods. At least they have a potential escape verses having to move entirely.[/quote]

No, I'm not aware of APS having more private school parents than in FCPS.  Is there Census or ACS data that supports that assertion?

I recognize that many (not all) people choose private schools or to homeschools because of the demographics of their public school alternatives.

My larger point was that, once a system commits as heavily to differentiated instruction as FCPS has done with AAP, it becomes very difficult to change course, because people adapt to that system.  But if FCPS had to do it over again, would it really have gone down this path?  Threads like this reveal the tensions.  [/quote]
