[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AAP center for Forestville is Forest Edge.

AAP center for Spring Hill is Churchill Road.

Westbriar is itself an AAP center.

Great Falls is the only other elementary school for which Colvin Run is the AAP center option.

Centers should be a thing of the past.  All kids should remain at their base schools, especially since they all seem to have LLIV at this point.  It's absurd that one group of kids gets to choose which school they'd like to attend, but the other group does not.[/quote]

Not for all schools but definitely Great Falls does not need to send their kids to Colvin Run. They are basically both centers in of themselves and Colvin Run ONLY pulls from Great Falls and Great Falls has it's own program so in this case it's obvious that neither of these schools need school choice for AAP.[/quote]

You can get rid of separate centers that draw from multiple schools but as long as there are LLIV-only classrooms some people will continue to complain about the AAP model. [/quote]

People will complain about the AAP model no matter what you do. And I say that as a mom of a Gen Ed kid. There's no way to run this kind of program that isn't going to upset someone.

I do think the AAP center model should be re-evaluated every 5-7 years. [b]I also question whether you need the AAP kids in an entirely separate classroom from 4th-6th since most people seem to agree that AAP or Gen Ed don't dictate your child's academic success in middle school and high school.[/b][/quote]

Sorting kids at such an early age is inaccurate, inappropriate, and does no one any good in the long run.[/quote]
