I wouldn't want my child's AAP teacher to have to deal with challenging behavior in class.[/quote]

I certainly understand that, and the main reason my child was being disruptive is that he wasn't getting the special education support that he should have been receiving. The AAP center was very strong in academics, and may have been strong in providing special ed to the general-ed student body, but just couldn't 
(or wouldn't) provide adequate support in the AAP setting. I also think that their disciplinary tactics often backfired, making the behavior worse.  They couldn't seem to understand how an otherwise smart kid could have such problems with organization, work habits, and self-discipline.

Back at the base school, in a team-taught class with a special education teacher and a general ed teacher, he is doing a lot better behavior-wise.  It's just too bad that the AAP Center wasn't equipped to help him be successful. He is certainly as bright as his peers in the AAP center despite having a disability.

His base school is a much better place for him, but what the County really needs is a magnet program for Twice Exceptional kids with learning differences. There, they could get the higher level academics that they need, but in a smaller group setting with services for kids with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, etc.  I think Montgomery County, Maryland already has such a program. Why is FCPS lagging behind?[/quote]

You seem to have a really strong sense of entitlement.  Most public school systems wouldn't offer this level of support in any classroom.  I am tired of paying for all the current AAP programs, much less layering all this 2E babble on top.[/quote]
