Schools are supposed to have Advanced Math. I have read that some schools push kids advanced in math into the LIV class for math, which is how they provide Advanced Math to students.

If FCPS would actually make Principals offer the programs that they are supposed to, like Advanced Math and LIII pull outs, there would be less pressure to get kids into LIV. But schools provide uneven services and parents feel pressure to meet their kids' needs through the only path that they know.

Or if we would return to a form of tracking so that more kids could be receive the support that they need instead of pretending like tossing everyone into one classroom is working.

What do you mean by this? The appeals are final. Unless you are talking about the subsequent years which is annoying as hell because who wants to switch schools at those points. Sigh.

They are the troll who claims that a diagnosis in something guarantees your entrance to AAP, which is patently untrue. And they seem to think that parents who appeal and apply multiple years are abusing the system.

I can see cases where LIV is important for kids, like at Title 1 schools.

I have learned that our LI school works with kids who are ahead and not in the LI program to move kids to the center because the gen ed classroom is far more disruptive. I know a bunch of families who have discussed being encouraged to apply in 3rd and 4th grade and their kids greatly appreciating the Center when they moved there. So if you are in a class where there are a lot of disruptive kids or kids who are far behind, LIV becomes a way to move into a classroom with fewer disruptions.

I do think that there are parents who are focused in LIV only because they think it is a ticket to TJ, it isn't, or because they think that it is a sign that their kid is smarter then other kids. It is more of a prestige thing then a need.

That entirely depends on the kid. We are not an outside academic enrichment type family. My 7th grader (currently in Algebra) would have been bored out of their mind if not in advanced math and way back in 2020 the only way to get advanced math at our school was LIV. I'd say for them AAP was maybe not a need on level with food, but as much as anything academic can be a need it was a need.

My other kids who got into AAP didn't strictly need it the same way, but they thrived so why not?

DP. I've known multiple kids who switched to the center in 4th. It's fine.

I didn’t get any confirmation email. Should I contact with them?

Last year I waited all day on the date given and nothing came until 7 am the next day. It was a Saturday.

Got the email confirmation saying the result will be sent on June 5.

Just got the same email as PP above.

I just got a confirmation email that my packet was received and that I'll get a response on 6/5

I didn’t receive confirmation, Appeal result should be released 30/may

When does the result for the appeals come in? And did everyone receive a confirmation letter for the appeal submission?
