[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many of you on here patting yourselves on the back.  Sure, only irresponsible parents don’t game the system (if you’re not cheating you’re not trying, right?).  Only irresponsible parents expect the schools to actually educate their children.  And any students who for whatever reason didn’t make the cut for AAP when they’re 7-8 years old are definitely going to get a fabulous education in those schools that the AAP kids are too good to even have to set foot in again.  Right.

No one would have a problem with AAP if it was truly a program for the gifted.  Lots of people have a problem with it because [b]it’s a program for the upper middle class/wealthy.[/b][/quote]

That's the point.  It's not.

But carry on with your "I'm not bitter."[/quote]

When did I say I’m not bitter?  I’m extremely bitter.  My family is solidly middle class (actual middle class not DCUM middle class), we pay our taxes, and my children who are bright and motivated are not being educated.

YOUR point may be that AAP is not a program for the upper middle class/wealthy, but just stating “it’s not” doesn’t mean that it’s not.  Because it clearly is.  (In other words, you are wrong.)[/quote]

So why aren’t your kids in it? [/quote]
