Kids are snarky too

There are nasty kids across the board who use position or athletic ability or gender or race or wealth as a measuring stick. Do you really think some anecdotes can characterize an entire population?

not entire but probably 90% plus in regards to the FCPS AAP center children.

Seriously? Why don't you scream "I'm a loser" a little bit louder? There may still be a few people left who need to know.

Wow, that's quite some feat that you have personal experience with 90% of the FCPS AAP population. You really need to get a job.

Are you a real adult or just a bored troll?

If you are genuine than you have a very sad and distorted outlook to life to have such an obsession with criticizing children.

While I think there are things in the program that could be improved upon, you're being a little histrionic, don't you think. I mean you could replace your first word (AAP) with drugs, alcohol abuse, or mental illness and it would all apply. You seriously think AAP falls into that?

So do guns. Can we work a little harder on regulating those before we get rid of AAP?

Not the PP, but yes. AAP does do all of those things. If you're the parent of an AAP student, then of course you're going to disagree.

Separates siblings? Why is that even an issue? If keeping siblings together is that important to a family, they have the choice of declining AAP. Problem solved!

Tears apart friendship? DS is in AAP, best buddy in base school. Still going strong after 2 years in different schools.

Stop being so dramatic.

I'm pp you quoted.

How do we even have a productive discussion when the prejudice carried into it is so thick? I don't know what happened to you or your kids and I'm sorry that it was so deeply cutting that you have formed these unbending biases against a whole group of children.

Really, I don't know what to say as one parent to another.

The saddest thing about the TJ students dissing the South Lakes students was that it was a bunch of South Lakes girls who won the first place science award in their category.

It appears the second place team in that category was from Frost MS, which might provide some context as to why some TJ kids might not have known South Lakes was a HS.

Better stick with the poor, badgered Lemon Road kid.

Please apologists.

When kids make a remark and the way they say it and then laugh, it's not because of ignorance.
