[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a shame it's not just the top 2%. The current % is so disruptive to the whole system. [/quote]

If it were only the top 2% of scores, you would still have very large centers in the TJ feeders, slightly smaller than currently centers in the Lake Braddock, West Springfield areas, and no centers in the poorer areas.[/quote]

Would you need centers though? Maybe embed the program in neighborhood schools. Less transportation issues, etc. [/quote]

The entire point of centers is to make regular sized classes. In a school where 4 children per grade, or 4 children in the school, are center eligible, those children do not make up a regular sized class. Even in schools where 10 or 15 children per grade are center eligible, they don't make up one regular sized class.

Transportation is not really a problem. The problem is that some people complain very vocally. [/quote]

You mean the taxpayers who are told there "aren't enough buses" to make sure all kids get to school at a reasonable time, as opposed to having to catch a 6:15 am bus for middle school?  Where are all those extra buses?  Oh, I know.  They're driving miles out of their way every day, transporting kids to center schools.  Many are even driving right past the base schools to get there.

This taxpayer will continue "complaining very vocally" about this incredible inequity, and I hope others will as well.  There is no reason AAP kids should be provided free busing when they could just as easily go to their neighborhood school.  That would free up the necessary buses FCPS claims they don't have.[/quote]
