[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]9:06 here again... forgot to mention that although no one said anything to suggest superiority, we couldn't help but feel like it is a little wrong to have this program within the larger county gen. ed. program -- it feels somwhat elitist even though we the "winning" side of the equation (at least for one child).

I wish more could be done to put aspects of the AAP curriculum into all schools.  There shouldn't be such a cliff between getting an invite to AAP and just missing it by a little bit (on the test scores), and therefore getting almost nothing like the AAP curriculum (via Level 2 and 3 services).  Seems like a lot more kids could benefit from this golden curriculum.  [/quote]

Thank you for saying this.  It's too bad more parents don't share your view.  As a parent of a General Ed. student who attends a center as his base school, I share your feelings.  The worst part about AAP is having the "school within a school" aspect, where AAP kids are clearly receiving more than the general population.  At a center school, it is very much "in your face" and inescapable - not at all what school should be like, IMO.  If centers are going to exist, they should be separate and unto themselves so there is not this blatant (and often, arbitrary) division of students.  Very inequitable.[/quote]
