[quote=Anonymous]Just commiserating.  When my kid was in 2nd grade after the AAP decisions came out, his friend in the neighborhood told him that he wished he was smarter so that they could still go to the same school together and be friends.

He was borderline and ended up getting Level III services.  We had no local Level IV; in hindsight, he probably would have been one of principal placed students in LL IV.

What ticked me off the most was that he didn't have that option because it's not standardized.  It really rubbed me the wrong way that we had a friend who didn't have to go through that because they had LL IV.  Why do some neighborhoods have to get broken up while others don't?

Once again, in hindsight, it was ok that he didn't get into AAP, he's rocking it in HS.  But what is still not acceptable is that this is still happening to kids 7 years later.  Pick an AAP model, centers or LL IV, that way every school gets the same treatment.  And don't have GenEd at center schools.[/quote]
