[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AAP centers are ideal, as most of the "problem" kids are not in the AAP classes. Given such, the 'quirky' kids can be themselves, as the non"quirky" are generally more accepting, as they tend to be above-average in intelligence, and therefore tend to be more accepting. This has been our experience, anyhow. DC has a very HFA student in DC class. The HFA child has some outbursts, and is definitely quirky, but the AAP kids accept the HFA kid as she/he is. In a gen. ed class, the HFA child would probably be bullied.

FCPS needs to do more to get gen. ed classes more like AAP; in the sense of security for the kids and having the kids rise to the challenge. IMO, FCPS teaches to the Lowest Common Denominator in general ed, which tends to be FARMS, ESOL, or LD children. I am not being mean, but perhaps inclusion is not a fair deal to the average child with no other issue. [/quote]

FYI, an ESOL, FARMS or LD child can ALSO be in an AAP curriculum.  They are not mutually exclusive.[/quote]
