[quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having you as classmates, you aren't good enough for me, is basically what is being said when kids leave for center AAP.

Social life between center and kids at the base school, and the parents, it doesn't go well.

Adults are cordial-enough knowing all will cross paths again in MS and HS.

Um, what? Nobody is like this in real life. My kid goes to a center and mostly socializes with those kids bc they are who he sees 8 hours a day. But he still hangs out with neighborhood friends, and it’s really not that deep. I don’t even think the kids on his sports team know the schools everyone goes to or if anyone is in AAP.

Do what’s best for your kid - it’s all fine. [/quote]

Dp.  It does happen.  Base school is the center, so even when they are all still at same school parents will say it's not worth scheduling a playdate because they'll never be in the same class again.  Or, they'll say something like they need some time to get used to their new special environment, which is code for we're only hanging out with the aap crowd now.
True that it's not everyone, but how many kids at school do you know that aren't in your kids class[/quote]
DP. Honestly I think you are projecting. My non-AAP center DD tonight saw some girls from her grade that weren't in her class at the restaurant we were eating at and actively avoided having to say hi to them.  No other reason than, "they're not in my class."  No one is actively avoiding kids just because they aren't AAP.  They're just avoiding kids that they don't already talk to on a regular basis because they're kids and they don't know how to do small talk yet.[/quote]

But, if they were friends in k-2 ( like already doing playdates) and still see each other at recess but the parents tell me the above when I reach out for a playdate and the playdates dry up...[/quote]

DP. Totally projecting. My AAP kid had a best friend in his AAP class last year with playdates, parties etc. This year, they got split into different classes so they don't see each other near as much. I've suggested my kid continue the friendship outside of school by hosting a playdate with this kid he likes, but the reason is always "he isn't in my class". [/quote]
