[quote=Anonymous]People have a really bad habit on this board of attributing all posts with an opinion opposite of theirs to just one poster.

I am a base GBW parent.  I don't hate the program or the kids, but the overcrowding situation is out of control.  And there is absolutely a problem with us vs. them at our school.  It's great that other schools don't have that issue - wish our school could figure it out.  Maybe it will get better with poplar tree center opening, who knows?

But this post isn't even about aap.  It started about high schools, but the attitudes on this board are indicative of an overarching problem in fcps.  I just don't buy that kids can only get a good education/be challenged in schools with the rich and gifted.  Fairfax has a huge concentration of type a's, ultra competitive parents, tiger parents, whatever you want to call them - and that kind of pressure is not necessarily good and/or healthy for kids.

We may or may not move - and our reasons are more commute/family time related.  But I do wonder if moving to a system that isn't so stuffed full of families who see anything less than top of the class, rich and powerful as the end all be all would be overall a more positive experience for our kids.[/quote]
