[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Incorrect to think it's a few poster. It's a common aggravation, these complaints re AAP. AAP itself.[/quote]

Well, then perhaps Jeff could add a sticky to the AAP forum for each of these topics:

-I hate AAP/AAP should be disbanded
-Kids in AAP are not gifted, just average
-It is upsetting to me that my kid is not in an AAP classroom and here is why

Then folka coukd duke those issues out there instead of turning every post into battling those topics over and over again for pages and pages.  OP in the post linked here asked about two specific issues: activities vs homework at centers and whether anyone had experience sending one kid to center while the sibling remained at the base school. What she go was approximately 9 out of 10 pages of people who did not have answers or experience with either of those questions arguing once again about those topics listed above.

Jeff, it someone started a thread in the special needs forum asking about how their ADHD kid manages homework load and activities and if anyone had experience dealing with a sibling's feelings of not getting accomodations for extra time, homework support, etc, and a handful of posters with no kids with special needs and no siblings inbolved in special edjumped in and for ten pages started arguing that ADHD is not any different from any other kid and does not deserve accomodation, that the accomodations are unfair and upsetting to typical kids that do not receive the accomodations, that most kids with 504s are not REALLY in need of them and don't deserve a different education or accomodations, that special ed is bloated and a joke and most kids will do just fine in the same class as everyone else, and that it takes up too much of the budget and should be cut, and that only the most extreme of 99.8% of above of special needs students should receive any accomodations, would you let that happen? Would it be allowed to go on in one thread, let alone most threads?

It is one thing to voice those opinions in a thread on these topics (such as the current thread about identification) but in a thread specifically about a different topic altogether it gets very tiresome.[/quote]
