[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My theory:  the "precious snowflake" poster = the "+1000" poster.  Maybe try an original, thoughtful post for once!  Healthy debate is great; a pile-on by multiple posters (or multiple posts by one person) all espousing the same point of view while throwing in obnoxious remarks and assumptions about anyone who disagrees is not healthy debate.  In an actual discussion by real parents, some or most of whom actually support good GE AND AAP education, there would be a range of opinions, not just the same angry p.o.v. said over and over again.[/quote]

It boggles the mind that you assume one poster uses "+1000" or the term "snowflake".  These are both common enough that any poster on these forums might use them, and most probably do.  I see them everywhere, not just here at the AAP forum.  It might be comforting to some of you to assume that it has to be only one crazy poster who hold views that differ from your own, but sadly, that just isn't the case.  I imagine if FCPS were ever to actually listen to parents' varying views on AAP, the system at it stands today would drastically change, and for the better.  And while "snowflake" may offend, it tends to be used in reaction to parents who explain, oh so solemnly, how they only want what's best for "their highly gifted child," with no regard to all the other children who attend FCPS.  It may be annoying to hear that term often, but it's usually used for a reason.  As a parent of both AAP and Gen Ed kids, I cringe when I hear some of the AAP parents describing the special learning environment their kids "must" have to survive FCPS.  [/quote]
