[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The kids who really suffer are the average +/- 1SD kids.  They are deemed not smart enough for AAP so they remain in gen ed which SHOULD be for them ,but it is REALLY for the kids with the behavioral problems and/or learning disabilities, so the average kids effectively get nothing.

And their parents understandably get upset and defensive when the AAP parents incessantly complain that their special snowflakes will somehow be harmed by having to even breathe the same air as these perfectly average kids.[/quote]

Naah.  The kids who really suffer are the kids who are above grade level and close to or even at the +2 SD range who aren't admitted to AAP.   They're the ones who become outliers in a very watered down gen ed program and additionally are told that they're "too dumb for AAP" by the kids who are barely above average, but still got in.

I'd be livid with any parents who insisted that my 97th percentile CogAT, pass advanced on all SOLs, above grade level, high GBRS, 98th percentile IAAT, straight As, and now 5s on AP tests LIII kid was somehow polluting their LLIV experience by being a "non AAP kid" in their class.  [/quote]
