[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all are missing the bigger picture here and that's we are talking about children's feelings here.  It's pretty irrelevant if the girls were correct in their assessment of AAP, but that there words were demoralizing another child.  Are you parents serious that if one of the two girls were your child that you would go to the principal and tell on the boy?  [/quote]

I think the odds are reasonably good the entire scenario is manufactured, not that such things never happen, so the OP can launch into an annual diatribe against the AAP program, just as some posters can never stop posting about why school times should not be changed, undocumented minors should not be schooled, and any number of other pet topics.

If people want to debate the AAP program on the merits, that's fair game.  But I find these "incidents" faintly ridiculous, in that they may be fictional and, in any event, are reported by posters who were not there and do not know the exact words used or their broader context.  And, since they weren't present, we can just as easily come up with alternative versions in which the AAP girls were harassed by an older GenEd student, rather than a sweet GenEd student being verbally insulted by two mean AAP girls.

FCPS made a judgment that AAP should begin with third grade, so younger kids will discuss what it means to be in AAP with the vocabulary they possess at that age.    [/quote]
