[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems to  me that if every middle school can send kids to TJ, then every middle school should be able to offer AAP.[/quote]

Not that straightforward because certain courses require certain requirements.  For example, a random teacher can’t just teach algebra and geometry (which is why algebra in 6th grade is crazy).  You need a math endorsement from VDOE.  Some local schools may not have the staff with those requirements.  [/quote

[b]There's no way any FCPS middle school DOESN’T have multiple staff who are endorsed to teach Algebra and at least a few who can teach Geometry. They might not have staff endorsed to teach Calculus, but Algebra and Geometry? Of course they do.[/qu[/b]ote]

+1  First PP is looking for excuses to limit AAP to "center schools."[/quote]

Umm yes there is. There are MSs that offer classes online because they don’t have staff to teach certain classes.

I think this whole premise that the only solution to all the districting and bus issues is getting rid of all AAP centers is absolutely absurd. You can make the argument that AAP should be properly expanded but don’t blame the districting issues solely on AAP. You’re just looking for an easy scapegoat. Besides, school choice and charters are only growing so that argument just doesn’t fly in the current climate.[/quote]
