I find this amusing. Whenever I strike up a conversation with a parent of an AAP child, as soon as they realize my child is in Gen Ed, they completely check out of the conversation. You can actually see the moment when it occurs - it's blatant. So I've lost interest in going out of my way to be friendly to parents who clearly aren't going to reciprocate. Predictably, one of you will say it's just "my imagination". That's because you haven't been on the receiving end of this kind of boorish behavior.

To the person who posted this above - please don't assume all AAP parents are like this because they are not.  You have now stereotyped them in your mind and it likely shows if you meet one.   I am thrilled to meet/strike up a conversation with any parents in my child's school. I have NEVER disclosed that my child is in AAP to another parent.  This just doesn't come up in conversation.

I wouldn't assume every AAP parent behaves in this manner - but it is true that too many of them do.  Even if all AAP parents aren't like this, enough of them are that it's become something of a truism in our center school.  I'm definitely not the only Gen Ed parent who has noticed this behavior.  And while AAP may not come up directly in conversation, it's out there immediately as soon as you share the name of your child's teacher.  [/quote]
