[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this the new tactic after last year's push for AAP expansion/dilution met such parental resistance? A poster on the FCAG listserve notified us that at their AAP center, Forest Edge, this fall suddenly AAP is to be "integrated" with base school -- AAP classes taught by base school teachers and vice versa. Other changes as well. Parents were not consulted at all, it was just a big surprise at back to school night.

I hope the parents will not stand for this and that it will not become the new trend spreading throughout FCPS AAP. We pulled our DC out of base school because LLIV was not going to provide the same academic (AND social/emotional) support for him as a center would . . . we thought.

I beleive this is expanding, as they are also doing this at our center school.  We learned at back to school night that two subjects (social studies and science) would be taught as a team between all the teachers for the grade (AAP and GE).  The students will be rotated as a class between the teachers.  The GE teacher explained that since the social studies and science curriculum was the same for both AAP and GE, that it was more effecient for the teachers to specialize in an topic and rotate the students through the classes.  The GE and AAP students are not really "mixing," but the GE teachers will be teaching the AAP students for some topics and vice versa. [/quote]
