I think my child will be offered an AAP spot.

Only boring people get bored.

Very cute, but
but unchallenged = bored.

Does your DC currently get any pullouts in K-2?

First year AART here. I am amazed at how many parents feel entitled meaning their kids "belong/ must be in AAP and their children have such a sense of entitlement. The rotten apples do not fall far from the diseased parental tree.

Never too early to make career changes, you know.

I still enjoy working with the students. No interest in changing careers. Only noting how many asshole parents, like your uneducated self, exist in Fairfax County.

Then either enrich at home or go to a private school and quit your entitled whining.

No, I'll admit these things, too. Your kid is most definitely not gifted or need this program. That's pretty obvious. So, knowing these things, I'm confident you'll do the right thing and decline the invitation, correct?

Are you kidding? AAP is made up of kids like this. It is no longer a GT program.

You forgot your end quote. I hate it when teachers make spelling and grammatical errors. It happens too frequently.

You have my sympathies -- one would think being an AART would be a great job, but oy vey -- in this area, it's got to be a real headache. The entitlement and hysteria over little Brayden or little Lexie not getting into AAP is going to hit the roof in about 10 days. I really hate those posts where the parent says the child is just distraught over being rejected.... but they will come... mark my word.

Why would she decline the spot. Nearly no kid NEEDS the program.

You said that the children had such a sense of entitlement, and you referred to them as rotten apples. So how much do you really enjoy working with them?

Look Projection up in the dictionary, you are the Entitled one thinking that the program should include non gifted kids.
