[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]This is true in my version in MCPS. Parents have us well-trained that behaviors are part of being gifted.[/quote]

My friend quit teaching when she was told she was going to have all AAP classes - the students were obnoxious and the parents were worse. [/quote]

Well it was pretty stupid of her to go to all the trouble of getting an AAP certification then. Or you are lying.

AAP kids have a lot going for them. Bright, motivated, hard working, great support at home and love learning.  But, higher end of intelligence seems to come with LDs. Good AAP teachers can support LDs and stop behavioral problems.

Speaking of which, 90% of obnoxious, entitled kids have one thing in common. Not AAP.  Not GE.  Obnoxious, entitled parents. Which exist in AAP and GE in most higher SES schools. Of course, lower SES is a different set of kid and parent problems.

You shouldn’t  go into teaching if your goal is to only deal with ideal students. Probably a good thing your “friend” got out if her expectations were so unrealistic. [/quote]
