[quote=Anonymous]Pp here.  Just wanted to add that, while I support the aap program entirely, your son's experience on the bus is completely unacceptable.  Kids being mean about being smart, pretty, thin, popular, athletic, whatever... It is unacceptable.  But recognize that kids will find ways to be mean no matter what the circumstance.  We need to focus on teaching correct, respectful behavior, not blame the circumstance.  They will just find yet another thing to be mean about unless we address the underlying issue of why they are mean in the first place.  For example, my son is in the aap program at a center school.  His bus is exclusively aap kids because the gen ed kids go to the neighborhood school.  And yet, multiple times last year,he got off the bus crying because one kid in particular, with his little entourage of buddies, decided to make my son the target of bullying.  They are all aap kids, so "smartness" never became the issue.  But these boys were able to find plenty of other differences to turn into negatives and prey upon.[/quote]
