So who is putting together your kid's packet?[/quote]
That doesn't require a full-time person. Plus, it is usually a committee of people doing the packets.[/quote]

There is not a committee of people putting together the packets. At our school the AART puts the packets together, teaches part time AAP and is worth her weight in gold. This is a short sighted move and will have such a negative impact on students.

AAP is one of the last remaining programs offered by FCPS that keeps upper middle class families in public schools. What idiot came up with the idea to attack AAP and chip away at its effectiveness? [/quote]

This is hilarious. No, it's not. And you're basically admitting this is a class system. We're segregating the rich kids into the own classes? WTF? I guess my family isn't wealthy enough.[/quote]

it definitely is. If it weren't for AAP, my kids would be in another county or private. Sorry that hurts your feelings but the tax base is what funds FCPS. [/quote]

I'm not the person you're responding to, but one of my kids is in AAP and the other is not. They're both getting an excellent education. I disagree with everyone who thinks that AAP is the only education worth getting in FCPS. My non-AAP child is getting a fabulous education.[/quote] 
wow, what school?[/quote]
We are in the Oakton pyramid.[/quote]
Well that's why. Not everyone lives in the richest parts of the country. Of course your kids' experiences will be great regardless of AAP. Step out of your bubble. [/quote]

That goes both ways. So many parents on here complain about how much FCPS sucks because they won't step out of their shitty school bubble. You CHOSE to live where you live, why didn't you research the schools then? We spent a lot of time looking for a house that we could afford where the schools have great reputations - we sacrificed commute for good schools and a bigger house. Different people have different priorities - I guess ours was a good education for our children and yours was parental convenience.[/quote]
