[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is some pretty gross ableism going on in this thread. Some of the smartest people I know as adults were thought to be “slow” as kids because they had undiagnosed dyslexia. And these people bragging about getting away from certain types of kids seem to be forgetting about the twice exceptional kids that can be quite challenging. I hope karma comes for some of you smug AAP parents. [/quote]
Right? So much ignorance.  My ADHD kid is in AAP. [/quote]

Guarantee your ADHD kid is less work than a kid in gen ed who hits, bites and throws things at the teacher. That child is in Gen Ed because (choose one)”

- the parent won’t sign the IEP
- the kid wasn’t identified because of the pandemic
- the child “never does that at home”
- the child’s one on one assistant hasn’t been hired
- the child is on grade level and is “fine”
- the parents are trying things “off medicine”
- the parents are switching medicine.
- the child spit out his medicine

I’m sure there are more reasons.  
By the way, I don’t think this justifies having AAP.  I think teachers should be told to teach top kids as well as low ones and that sped kids deserve more support in gen ed.

I just don’t buy that AAP sped is “just like” gen ed sped.  Not for a second.[/quote]

DP.  Are you actually claiming there aren't kids in AAP who "hit, bite, and throw things at the teacher"?  If so, come on down to our center school and take a look.[/quote]

Yes I am. There aren’t any at my kids center school that have been in any of her classes and she is a 6th grader. The kids aren’t perfect but there is zero biting throwing or hitting in my child’s 3 years in AAP.[/quote]

+1 AAP classes never have serious offenders like gen Ed.[/quote]
