[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So my DS came home today and said that he had the distinct pleasure (not) of sitting behind two AAP 3rd grade girls who were crowing about the fact that they were in the "smart" classes at their center school.  Apparently they were arguing with another girl, saying they were smarter than her because she is not in AAP.

Because my son is a 6th grader at this school (Gen Ed), he has heard these kinds of remarks countless times and knows just to roll his eyes at the ridiculous kids who blather on like this.  But he's a patrol and he felt bad for the girl they were arguing with, so he stuck up for her and told the other two to pipe down, and that they were wrong.

Parents of AAP kids:  please stop telling your kids they are "smarter" than the others.  They will parrot this BS back, even if you think they won't, [b]making them even more insufferable than usual.[/b]

School counselors:  if you happen to be reading this, please sit down with the AAP classes at your school and make sure these kids know that they aren't any better, smarter, or more special than the Gen Ed kids.  Please ask the administration to stop treating them as such.

FCPS:  please do away with centers and drastically cut back AAP admittance, or else open it up to all.  You are doing our communities a disservice by dividing up kids in this way.

I'm posting this on both the AAP and VA School forums because it's an issue that affects all kids in this area.  Unfortunately.[/quote]

That's where you lost me.[/quote]
