He's AP...no wait, he's SN....no wait, he's AP......

I really don't care WHICH your child is. But leave my child (either side) alone. My child has NOTHING to do with your child. Got it?

There is someone in my child's class who can not stop trying to have this conversation with us. Do what you have to do for your child. But criticizing whatever program my child is in has nothing to do with you and is no means of comparison. Bring her up and you WILL regret it. Bank on it.

Has anyone else come across these problematic and dramatic parents that the administration hates? They dig their graves deeper and deeper, which I could care less about - but really, bringing your children down with you?! Then wondering how it happened? Stop, just stop.

Would love to hear from seasoned parents, though I suspect I will instead hear from the troublemaker parents, unfortunately.

WTF are you talking about?

[Anonymous]

Confused. Is someone trying to figure out if your child in SN or AP?

This may qualify as the most cryptic thread ever. And that's saying something, taking into account the drunken posts and the ones started by angry au pairs who barely speak English

Glad to know I'm not the only confused one.

You sound like you have enormous chip on your shoulder. Graciousness and peace be upon you -- you sound like you need it.

NP: Who knows, but many gifted and talented classes are highly populated with kids on the spectrum.

Can you get BOTH SN accomodations AND be in AP? And if so, is it anyone's business WHICH your child is or is not? Do they have a right to your business? There is a bully parent in our school.

And more common than you imagine. Twice exceptional is the term, I believe, for the (20%?) of AAP who also have SN.

Okay, so I know that SN is special needs, and I gather that AP is related to autism. What does AP stand for? the educational jargon AP that I know is Advanced Placement.

Note to OP: everyone is not inside your brain, so we don't all know what you are talking about.

My son is both special needs and in advanced placement. If that is what you are talking about. If you have a problem with another annoying parent, can you just avoid them? I don't discuss my son much except with friends... Works for me.

The AP in this context is Advanced Placement, not related to autism. Not sure why you thought it was related to autism. You do comprehend that many advanced closes/AP etc are populated by kids on the spectrum, right? Most AP and Gifted and Talented classes also have a special education teachers in them.
