[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember this thread and it still strikes me as a made-up scenario by a poster who wanted an excuse to call AAP kids "insufferable." There was a whole string of threads last year in which AAP kids were supposedly bullying or belittling non-AAP kids in different situations and then the threads seemed to stop.  It was more than a little suspicious. [/quote]

A lot of the AAP kids are bullies.  I have heard it straight out of their mouths. Of course I intervened.  This absolutely comes from the parents. Hands Down!  Maybe it is their parents way of convincing their children of leaving their neighborhood school to go to another.  My first child was horrified at the thought of leaving what was safe for DC in 3rd grade.  If I had not listened to DC and instead coerced DC into going I might have used some of the same language to help my DC feel better about leaving.  It is traumatic for most of these kids to be pulled out of school with their friends.  I think this is why this sort of thing goes on but it doesn't make it right. The AAP parents should start listening to their children and guiding them in social etiquette as well as to be their best academically.  IMO it is the social etiquette part that is missing however I am not sure many of these parents have this themselves as it seems the latest rage at the AAP centers is cotillions.  Which I find interesting because when I grew up these were only for very wealthy children to meet like children in hopes of finding a "like" husband or wife.  Cracks me up!![/quote]
