[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]U don't need a teacher to reply to this post - any AAP parent can tell you:

1. Of course, like any class, some kids are stressed and others are not.

2. AAP parents are no different than Gen Ed parents. They are all parents.

3. There are good, bad and great teachers in AAP and in Gen Ed. FWIW the worse the teacher is the more stressed the kids are and the more likely the teacher is to complain about the AAP parents.

4. Yes. Only the kids in the top get in, so the teacher only needs to teach to that subset. The Gen Ed teacher is screwed and must teach to very low learners and very high learners (those overlooked by the AAP selection cmte) and those in the middle.

5. AAP classes are always bigger. This allows the Gen Ed parents to feel that since their kid is being screwed by the Gen Ed population, the AAP kid can get screwed on larger class size.

6. The jury is out on this - will know in 15 years when today's AAP kids are out of college and, hopefully, productive members of society.

Signed a parent of AAP kids (all are in the AAP center) and thankful that it exists. I think Gen Ed would be a very hard place to learn. Too many varying levels of learning aptitude and skill level.[/quote]

I think the narrow-minded attitude of many AAP parents (see above) is exactly why this poster is asking for TEACHERS to share their thoughts. Read the subject line, please.[/quote]
