I don't understand why when schools do have LLIV, FCPS (and the schools themselves in some instances) don't do more to promote the program and get 
kids to stay. This is the case with the LLIV program at CPES. Kids just flee to GBW even though CPES has a good program - mostly because no one 
encourages them (or their parents) to stay.

I don't understand why these kids are even given the option to leave if their base school already has LLIV. Busing them to centers just creates redundancy and extra costs. Gen. Ed. kids aren't given the choice of which school they'd like to attend.

You really don't get it, do you?  Then the parents couldn't brag that their child goes to a CENTER![/quote]

LLIV isn't really equivalent to a center, more like AAP lite.[/quote]

Why is all this energy (and money) being expended on the AAP faction at all?  Give them one option (LLIV) and be done with it.  If they want AAP, stay in their base school.  FCPS needs to get on with the business of looking out for [b]all[/b] its students, not just one group.  [/quote]

As the parent of a current AAP student, I agree.  I would love to have LLIV in our base school, but it's not available.  We opted to put DC1 in the center, but it is far and his friends are spread out geographically.  He misses out on the community feel of his old school and because it's far, it's not as easy for me to volunteer. I think that even if DC2 gets in, I'll keep her at the base school and hope the teachers will give her the challenge appropriate to her ability.   [/quote]
