[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]13:37 Yes, that's the issue. Either bus all the AAP kids or none of them. Wow, the Louise Archer parents sure seem entitled. Why they think it's ok that a 3rd grader from Vienna come to their school, but not a fourth grader is beyond me.[/quote]

Louise Archer parents have nothing to do with it.  The school is grossly overcrowded and is not accepting any new children at those higher grades because those classes are already full from kids who came in earlier.  The only new class going into LA next year will be the 3rd grade class and those AAP students will be referred from fewer base schools so the numbers will be lower.   It may seem unfair, but the county is trying to do the best they can given the unwieldy mess AAP has become.[/quote]

Thank you to the person who responded above. This is not about "entitled parents" and tossing that kind of thing around just lets the discussion sink into the name-calling that is far too common on DCUM AAP discussions.

LA is our school. It's been a great AAP program for us but the school is physically far, far too full. There is no art room; the old art room is a classroom and looks like it will be forever. Someone posted earlier about how there is a trailer sitting right on the blacktop, crowding the playground. Classes are full to bursting. This is an issue of sheer physical facilities -- LA cannot handle more kids, AAP or not.[/quote]
