[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also teach AAP and agree with the OP.  So many parents push for AAP  as if it is a status symbol for themselves.  Do you think Harvard, Princeton, and Yale give a rat's ass that your child was in AAP in elementary school?  I find it especially humorous that so many parents of AAP kids whose elementary schools feed into Luther Jackson for AAP choose not to send them on to middle school AAP.  Hypocrites!!!  "My child must have AAP, but for middle school it does not matter.". FCPS needs to eliminate the AAP program.  And, before you criticize me, I went to Princeton and got my Masters of Ed at Columbia so I may be somewhat well educated.[/quote]

Who cares where you went to school?  That doesn't mean you are a good teacher or that your opinion matters more than other people's opinions.  This year DC1 has an ivy educated teacher, who is mediocre at best, and DC2 has a non- ivy teacher, who is amazing.  I would be thrilled to have DC2' s teacher move up and teacher DC2 again. You couldn't pay me to have DC1's ivy educated teacher teach either of them again.  DC1'S  non ivy teacher from last year also blows  the current ivy one out of the water, and I would love to have her teach my kids again.  Of course there are some great ivy educated teachers, but,sorry, your ivy education doesn't make your opinion more valid.  We have no idea  what caliber of teacher you happen to be.  Also, do you look down on you colleagues who aren't ivy educated?[/quote]
