Putting kids in separate AAP classrooms, as is done at center schools, does no one any good.  [/Quote]

P!ease do not speak for my kids, who benefitted greatly from attending AAP Center classes where teachers and staff partnered to identify, document, and implement the necessary supports for my children with LDs. We tried the Local Level IV option at our base school and it was a failure. At the recommendation of our kids' doctors, we switched them to the Center program, where both kids were successful.

Maybe the Center did not work well for your kids. However, your kids do not represent the needs of all kids.[/quote]

NP here.  It is good your child's needs were met.  I know a couple of other brilliant children with disabilities who were served very well by AAP.  That said, I think they would be even better served if AAP was still an actual gifted program.  As PPs have noted, too many kids of similar abilities arbitrarily consigned to in GE, too many prepped and parentally pushed children getting a better education than their intellectual peers simply because mom and dad know how to work the system.  Too many gifted SES kids dropping through the cracks, while well-heeled parents brag that their non-gifted child still needs AAP.  Too much entitlement, not enough equity.  The current method for separating kids into AAP and GE is a scam.    [/quote]
