Are all the schools like that?

No one said that. You are delusional if you think the AAP classrooms have an equal number of discipline issues as the non-AAP ones though.

LOL. Troll.

+1. But don’t bother telling the truth, because DCUM Moms will scream “OMG SCHOOL CLOSURES!!!”

Right, because there are no behavioral problems in AAP.

You can save your childish eyerolls. If you don’t understand that taking the highest achieving kids out and separating them means there are fewer (not “no,” which nobody said) behavior problems in that class, you’re beyond help.

In MS-are honors classes any better than Gen Ed behavior wise?

Any teachers want to weigh in?

Yes unless it is one of the MS classes that is “all honors” - as in where there is no gen Ed option.

Yes although there’s still some MS behavioral nonsense, of course.

Yes at least at our MS. My DC did all honors except math but I noticed the class still had the same kiddos so DC had solid years of learning. I have a friend who's DC did not do honors and saw ridiculous behaviors and issues in the class.

Which school is this that isn’t doing “Honors for All”? Equity is paramount!

But the stuff my kids are telling me is shocking to me. My 1st grader is hearing insults from her peers everyday (not specifically directed to her): F word, middle fingers, mean comments. Boys who used to be her friends now tease her in the school bus, kids ganging up on others, calling them names. Things are even worse in my 3rd grader's class. A handful of badly behaved boys are disrupting class, calling names, N word... They seem to be popular too, which sucks for my son. As a result, the teacher's attention is going to the trouble-makers and the nice kids just go unnoticed. Did the parents just give up? Are the schools not enforcing discipline?

People didn’t bother to parent for two years. This is the natural result.

Ever heard of TWICE EXCEPTIONAL? The second "exceptional" there is code for "psycho"

DP. This made me laugh so hard - and it’s true. Some parents simply refuse to acknowledge it.

In 2nd, my DD would beg me for high heels after a classmate came to school in hers. The kid wasn't prepared for gym class with sneakers but she had high heels. Of course, she got to sit around and color because she wasn't prepared.

This one ridiculous anecdote is supposed to represent Gen Ed kids as a whole? You are absolutely clueless if you claim that many AAP kids don't come with their own set of problems.

DP. The PP isn't a troll - I see the same thing at our high SES school. The difference in behaviors is usually found at low SES schools. There is no difference in Gen Ed and AAP behaviors at our school. All the kids come from (relatively) wealthy, involved families and it shows.

Yea and no. I think some behaviors might be related to SES. But I also think wealthy parents mistakenly assume their kids could do no wrong and either don’t know about it or jump on teachers who try to bring it to their attention.
