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]
I'm also in the Oakton pyramid with one kid in AAP and one not.  My AAP kid has consistently gotten better teachers and a better classroom environment over the non-AAP kid. The classroom discipline and distraction problems alone are very evident.  Additionally, a new pupil has been added to the non-AAP kid's class every quarter this year who barely speak English, taking away the teacher's time and attention further.[/quote]
