[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While my child will lose some friends/classmates to AAP, DC is going to have a good education in the base school and when s/he gets to high school, THEN DC can decide if honors and AP classes are in DC's ambitions.

Tyr not to make the whole AAP thing more than it really is.  The base schools, while not perfect, are not condemning your child to a life of menial jobs.  Really![/quote]

I really do agree with this. However, the problem is resources, of course. Our base school has seen a steady increase of ESL students who demand more resources from the classroom teacher and specialists (academically, that is--generally speaking, they are among the best-behaved children in class). Meanwhile, our AART is part-time, to the point where many parents flee for the center because there is so little time for Level III activities. Perhaps other schools are different.

Personally, I have no desire to split up my kids and put my DS on a bus to another neighborhood (and he probably doesn't want that, either--we won't discuss it unless we get accepted). I would love to keep him in the base school if I felt it were truly (or at least 95%) meeting his needs.[/quote]
