[quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's hate, rather annoyance. It depends on where one lives. In the parts of FCPS where the average test scores are low, I can understand the angst over AAP. A high achieving student in gen ed would be left with a higher percentage of lower scoring students. I don't understand why the parents are freaking out in the wealthier areas. The average test scores are high. Even if a kid is in gen ed, their peers are still mostly above average. Only the truly gifted in the high SES areas really need AAP. I find it hard to believe that the kids who score in the 85-90% range have needs that cannot be served in a class where kids score mostly in the 60-80% range. It's about trying to ensure their child has the "best," which annoys the rest of the parents who don't feel the need to differentiate students who really are not all that different. [/quote]
