[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is what it is because the school board and BOS segregates their schools and neigborhoods. They don't have to. They could both balance demographics better if they wanted to. Instead they look the other way. Why should TMS have gotten a LLIV program when the whole purpose of having the AAP program at Jackson was to boost up the school? I'm sure that's why they put the center program there to begin with. Now they've redistricted some of the more wealthy population out of LJ and have allowed the wealthier school to basically have their own center program. It goes against the whole reason for the center programs at disadvantaged schools to begin with.[/quote]

The whole purpose of having an aap program at Jackson was to boost up the school?  What?   Then where would the Thoreau aap kids have gone originally when there was no Thoreau option?  You think they did it to boost up LJ but not really to help the aap kids??? You’re making stuff up. [/quote]

All PP was saying was that it wasn't unusual for FCPS to place AAP centers at schools with more FARMS students than the nearby schools.  That's why AAP was put at Glasgow, not Holmes; Kilmer, not Thoreau; and Longfellow, not Cooper.

Now FCPS is opening more AAP centers or LLIV equivalents.  They didn't formally designate Thoreau as an AAP center, but it has LLIV and everyone knows kids can basically take the same advanced classes  there.  They pretended they weren't turning Jackson into another Poe (now over 70% FARMS), when that's exactly what they may be doing.  And the School Board members who voted in favor of this like Palchik and Keys-Gamarra need to be called out as phony limousine liberals and voted out next year.   [/quote]
