[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone think that the following situation is another form of discrimination?

Situation: Our FCPS elementary school is growing the AAP program to enormous proportions, ie over 40% of the population.  (In my humble opinion, there just can't be that many students formerly known as "gifted and talented." This is creating a huge divide in the community.)  Upon finishing elementary school, the AAP students have an option to go to another middle school (a newer Middle School, Rachel Carson, which is not the "local, boundary defined school, yet an AAP center), or they can attend the local honors program at Franklin Middle. Now, the non AAP, or general ed, does NOT have the option to go to Rachel Carson, since it is not the boundary school. Does this seem fair? How can AAP students have 2 options for middle school, and general ed have only one? Is this not discrimination based on intelligence as defined by test scores, parental write-ups and teacher preferences? (i.e the AAP eligibility and acceptance process?)[/quote]

Seems totally fair to me.[/quote]
