[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh, sorry, should say "AAP doesn't cost much extra money."[/quote]

No, it just siphons off the best teachers and students into programs that leave non AAP students in education "ghettos" with burnt out teachers. How did we ever survive to become professionals in schools where the dumb, average and smart kids were all in the same classrooms?

Principals are responsible for the overall performance of their schools.  If anything, they have an incentive to assign the best teachers to the Gen En classes, since the AAP students don't need as much assistance and [b]tend to have parents who supplement what they learn in the classroom[/b].  I don't think you're doing anything here other than reviving the periodic rant against AAP, which in general attracts smarter kids to FCPS than to any other school system in the region.     [/quote]

Regarding the bolded, this is just utter B.S.  My kids are in Gen Ed, and I and all of their friends' parents are extremely involved at school, as well as  supplementing at home, and always have been.  What a stupid statement.[/quote]
