[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a striver by any means, but we did fight like hell to get our kid in AAP. Why? Because they got no attention at our Title I base school. They read fluently but were in kindergarten with kids who had never held a book and did not know the alphabet. Many of these kids were recent immigrants and spoke no English. Do these kids have the right to an education? Absolutely! And I am glad that FCPS is providing it. Socioeconomic diversity is good. But my quiet, well behaved kid was forgotten in a corner doing math worksheets, while the teacher focused on the many other kids who needed help.[/quote] What sort of fighting did you have to engage in? (not meant as snark, just wondering what exactly you had to do to... could be as simple as submitting appeal, but curious if it's something more what that looked like)[/quote]
