[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]18:54 -- I'm not the PP you were responding to.  I agree with the sentiment that the gen ed kids shouldn't be pushed out of their school to accomodate the AAP kids --- BUT, if the AAP kids are "put out" by being placed in the trailers, you can't expect them to feel like they are 100% part of the school.

You seem to be arguing both sides of the stick -- AAP kids are stand-off-ish and stick to themselves, BUT, the gen. ed. kids have a greater right to be inside the actual school building b/c it is their school first.  (i.e. the AAP kids think they are superior; but don't expect the gen. ed. kids to treat the AAP kids as equals who have a right to be in the school building... gee, why don't the AAP kids want to mingle with the gen. ed. kids?

Sounds to me like you have a resentful attitude toward the AAP kids that may be creating the very barrier that you are complaining about. [/quote]

Most schools put kids out in trailers by grade, not by program. K-3 are kept in as much as possible and only one of those grades are AAP. So if a school has trailers, you're more likely to get one if you are in AAP because these are the older grades. In addition, the kids who need the most special ed support are more likely to be in the school building because they need greater access to the reading specialist, occupational therapist, etc. The AAP kids don't tend to need as much intervention. What is your problem thinking these trailers are some kind of sign that you're not welcome? If you really don't like the trailers, just don't switch schools![/quote]
