[quote=Anonymous]It's good to consider where the NT parents may be coming from.  But I also get OP's rant, especially starting at the middle school level.  If you hang out in the FCPS room at all, you know there is a set of parents of average children who think they are getting short changed.

Because their kids didn't go into AAP, they don't get advanced classes automatically and we know there are plenty of bright kids that probably could have handled it, so they do honors, but it's perceived as not as good as AAP.

Then if they are average, they are in GenEd where they think that those with IEPs, especially in team taught classes, are getting the bulk of support and causing general chaos.  Therefore, middle of the road students get nothing and that's why the parents care so much about grades, sports, and test scores.

Is this accurate?  I don't know, but SN kids and their supports are not the reason average kids aren't turning out to be Top 20 college material.  I spent a lot of time on the College Board last year when my son was a senior and yes, people do blame the current set up for their child's mediocrity.[/quote]
