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]

"one group" is the ones who will pull us forward; cure cancer etc.  Yes, foster these, ease their path.  Invest in the smartest kids. [/quote]

I am embarrassed for you that you could even put that in writing, much less think it.  [b]These kids are no more likely to "cure cancer" or "pull us forward" than any other student[/b].  It is very sad that you think AAP - a [b]slightly [/b]more advanced program - will make or break a child's future.[/quote]

Really?  Kids who have been identified as being in the top 5-10% of intelligence are "no more likely" to cure cancer than other kids?  Ridiculous.  Now if you said that the kids likely to cure cancer would do so without AAP I think you would have a MUCH better argument.[/quote]
