[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find telling that people are taking criticism of the program and its selection process as envy and disdain for gifted kids.  It says a lot about these parents who assume any criticism means envy. By the way,  many of the criticism in this forum comes from parents who do have kids in AAP and/or parents who have kids in both AAP and gen Ed. [/quote]

This is not the thread to criticize the program (whatever program you’re referring to. Feel free to start a thread on that.)

This thread is about lacking free and appropriate learning opportunities for the gifted in public schools in the DC area.

If you favor the mentality that the gifted will be fine no matter what, you are either ignorant or envious.  Most people on this board aren’t ignorant. They’re usually well versed - not sure why they pretend to not know. When you take out ignorance, you’re left with very few opinions, the nicest of which is envy. [/quote]

Right. When I was in public school and wasn’t being challenged, i ended up getting into trouble. I was a bored kid who acted out because I wasn’t engaged.

My parents reached out to the teacher, who said she didn’t have the time to give me extra work. I don’t fault her; I fault the large class sizes.[/quote]
