[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I don't see any indication that anyone has been acting in bad faith here, but I do see how some GenEd parents at Westbriar who thought the AAP center there would be comparatively small may eventually end up with an AAP center school similar to other centers (Archer, Churchill Road, Colvin Run, Haycock) in terms of the ratio of AAP to GenEd students. [/quote]

And that's exactly what all the boosters, (principals, PTA prez, etc.) said would not happen.   Hence the bad faith when anyone with half a brain could see that if you build an AAP center, they will come.  In droves!

And lest you forget, FCPS labels services, not students.  So there is no such thing as an AAP student, or AAP parent, Gen Ed Student or Gen Ed parent.   In fact there will be many parents who are likely to seem some of their children receiving AAP and others receiving Gen Ed at Westbriar.  I'm sure they'll have no problem with the division. [/quote]

I disagree with you to the extent that I don't think the under-enrollment at schools in the Langley pyramid were getting as much attention when the discussions about adding AAP to Westbriar were occurring.  Moving existing Westbriar neighborhoods to Colvin Run and/or Wolftrap at the same time as AAP kids are coming in from Westbriar, Freedom Hill and Stenwood will likely change the feel of the place, for sure.  But, people clearly expected a lot of AAP kids from those three schools, just from looking at the other trends in the Marshall pyramid. [/quote]

All of this ridiculous drama over who goes where leads me to ask why on earth these schools don't simply offer LLIV at each base school and forget the center model???  It makes no sense whatsoever.[/quote]
