[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of the kids in DC's AAP class last year were telling gen ed kids that AAP kids were smarter. Luckily DC's teacher quickly and decisively shut that down. I think it is important that if a teacher hears this, they immediately and unequivocally straighten the kids out.[/quote] Unfortunately, it works both ways. My child's AAP center had the opposite problem: kids from the regular classes were calling the AAP kids nerds and sissies and there was some bullying going on. The school counselor did a few lessons on bullying and how to deal with it for the whole grade and that seemed to help. This took place at a school that mixed all the kids for specials and lunch. [b]They were all fine all through school and then this happened in 6th grade[/b]. It was too bad, because they had all seemed to get along for so long, but this left my child with some bad feelings about that year. [/quote] I think the nasty kids are going to be mean, whether or not they are AAP. And in 6th grade, even the nice kids can turn nasty. It is a tough year.[/quote]
