And that is what gets to so many people. They [b]don't love the idea of all kids having the same opportunities, because then their special ones won't be so special anymore[/b]. Never mind that huge numbers of AAP kids are those whose parents have gamed the system and aren't really gifted or special. Or kids like mine who were teacher referred to help round out the classes.

This isn't always true. If the elementary schools had a general education pathway that did not only cater to those who are  behind or disruptive more parents would be fine leaving the kids there. They wouldn't have to go to AAP to get a decent public education.[/quote]

And there you have it. AAP is just to get away from the “undesirables”.

Should parents avoid doing what's best for their own children to make you feel better?[/quote]
I think PPs are just pointing out that AAP is not a program for the gifted and that parents constantly game the system to get in.  At least some parents admit it vs. being delusional about their kids being gifted. [/quote]

Still doesn't explain why some many are obsessed with ending AAP. What is gained by pointing out that its not what you'd consider gifted? [b]Sounds like bitterness tbh[/b][/quote]
you realize many of the people pointing this out do in fact have kids in AAP?[/quote]

DP. Yeah - I see on this board generally some people who think their snowflakes are better than the other kids in AAP. I don’t think too highly of those posters. They are either delusional or don’t understand that a free public education is not synonymous with a mandate to provide the world’s greatest education to each individual student.[/quote]
