Schultz is no bigot. She’s very loving and inclusive. She doesn’t fall for all the BS some of the others are pushing.

AAP is required by law. It’s classified as a special need. Otherwise it would have been gone a long time ago. Now it’s a necessity for MC normal English speaking FCPS students.

Gifted education is required by law, but the law is not specific as to the selection process or the form of the gifted education. Both FCPS AAP and the APS push-in model are fully compliant with the Virginia gifted mandate. FCPS surely has its reasons for keeping AAP, but the gifted mandate is not one of them.

According to the head of the AAP program it is. How they choose is up to the individual school.

+ 1,000,000 - I’ve never met her in person, but I heard her interviewed on the radio. She was really excellent.

How was the trip back from Orlando? Yee haw.

I escaped all these problems by sending my kid to Catholic elementary. We have real text books, homework every night, and are studying actual GRAMMAR. They even teach cursive. And geography. These are things I hadn't seen in YEARS in FCPS elementary.

I am going to try my FCPS again for middle school but if it's not up to par, we'll go back to Catholic. And I don't even like Catholicism although I was raised Catholic.....

I think kids are changing as well. They
are coming to school w/ less parenting and
more issues and way less skills. Way toooo
Much I pad time Less-ability to focus and way
less social skills and fine motor skills.

They are, yes.
And they tell their neighbors and relatives back home.

Elizabeth Schultz is the best.

LOL. You have Elizabeth Schultz as your bigoted standard-bearer and she is totally in the minority on the School Board. Win more elections if you want anyone to think there are really a “lot of you.”

She may not win, but I can assure you, there are a lot of us. Oh and your intimidation tactics won’t work here.

You're commenting on the wrong thread, then.

Thanks to the above posters for not calling us racists. I have people in my family who are "recipients" and we're white. They can't be bothered to do anything except have more kids. They don't think twice about it. It's unbelievable.
