[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We aren't Muslim or very socially conservative but DC went through the AAP Program at Rocky Run and that would probably fit the bill. There were a lot of very studious kids whose families did not allow dating and had very high expectations for behavior and academics. [/quote]

+1 I agree with this and would also add Carson to the list. [b]Basically one of the AAP center schools[/b].[/quote]

Are you people really this naive??  Seriously?  AAP centers are no different than base schools.  "AAP" doesn't really mean much, and it certainly doesn't mean "studious and chaste."   :roll: [/quote]

Rocky Run and Carson, as well as all the other AAP center schools, are no different than a base school. You people who think they are different seriously have your heads in the sand.[/quote]

Our oldest went to one of the above mentioned center schools and our youngest two went to the base. The difference was night and day. Not just academics but behavior too. [/quote]

+1 people who deny this are the ones with their heads in the sand.[/quote]

I've taught at four FCPS middle schools, two AAP centers and two not centers.

Ranking overall behavior, from disruptive behavior to disrespectful behavior, dangerous behavior to annoying behavior, #1 being the best and #4 being the worst, I'd rank them like this:

#1-- not a center
#2-- center
#3-- not a center
#4-- center

In my experience, the behavior is similar in severity regardless of AAP center status. Based on my experience, the responses that say there is no difference are the accurate ones.

Exactly.  It is the height of wishful thinking to insist that center schools have "better behaved" kids.  [/quote]

Not really. Even one of the counselors said the center school was a bubble.[/quote]
