[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Louise Archer is located in an area where a concentration of toxic, self-important assholes live, so doing business, driving, shopping, and interacting on any level is affected. Don't take that school as being a typical center school.

I have sent my kids to five different FCPS elementary schools over the years, two of which had AAP centers that some of my kids were in. I have family and good friends with kids in other center schools.

Most of our experiences are good, and whether there's a center or not does not create problems or a toxic atmosphere in most cases. A center can bring up the quality of the PTA involvement and number of clubs and activities at the school. Night and day compared to some of the Title I schools we also know, where parent involvement was low and there were almost no clubs or activities because everyone was either working three jobs or didn't think school was important. So look at the neighborhood itself. Find someplace relatively moderate and you'll be fine.[/quote]

I respectfully disagree.  Our center school is located in a "moderate" area, but unfortunately the fact that it's a center means that toxic, self-important asshole parents are the norm at the school since their kids are (for the most part) the ones in AAP.  In our experience with two different center schools, the majority AAP dynamic is toxic no matter how you slice it.  If there is a large group of kids who are pretty much told by parents and teachers that they are somehow "special," or superior, then these kids will believe it and act accordingly - insufferable.[/quote]

None of this is the case at our Center school.

I think there are a minority of Center schools where the number of students in AAP far exceed the number in general education.   [/quote]
