[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've heard behavior is a big factor as well. I've seen kids with scores off the charts not get admitted because of discipline issues.[/quote]

That must be a new thing because my now middle schooler's AAP grade was one big behavior issues extravaganza.  In fact, I thought there were far more kids who didn't behave in AAP than in the regular class.[/quote]

That was my ds's experience. Habitual lunch/snack stealing  actual fist fights in class, constant efforts to derail and aggravate the teacher, actually leaving class without permission, destroying class property...I honestly wonder if base schools try to offload the most difficult children by giving them a great GBRS. We switched to private. There was very little room for learning with that cohort as the teachers attention was always on the drama. [/quote]

Sorry, this just doesn't sound believable.  Any one of those things would be a rarity, but combined seems not credible.  A fist fight, "habitual lunch and snack stealing," leaving a classroom, and destroying class property?  I don't believe this at all unless you're getting it all from your child who was unhappy anyway versus actually hearing it from the teacher or administration.[/quote]

It happened, and I didn't even mention the time that one of the kids was sent to the principals office for throwing a chair. My own son had his snack stolen out of his backpack at least 5 times, by a kid who would even steal food out of kids' hands. You can believe what you want, but the teacher and I had many discussions about these situations. [/quote]
