[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Centers big or small, or separate classes, it doesn't matter. AAP/GT parents saying their child can't be educated alongside others is wrong and obnoxious. Parents from all over the county feel this way.[/quote]

[b]Never seen an AAP parent post that their DC can't learn in a school that is predominantly GE  kids.[/b] Show me the link. Seen lots of posts from GE parents saying their GE kid is harmed by being in the same school as AAP kids (although many of these posts do seem to be by the on CR parent).  [/quote]

You've got to be kidding.  AAP parents (at least on DCUM) are constantly complaining that their child "has" to have a center education because there's "no way" s/he could possibly learn at the base school.  Read all the posts from parents who are crazed at the thought of centers going away because then (gasp!) their snowflake would have to go back to their base school.  It's a perfect example of the AAP entitlement mentality.  [/quote]

Sure-- some AAP parents are concerned about the push back to base schools, because most base schools do not have enough AAP kids to fill a classroom per grade-- let alone 2 classrooms (50 kids) which is the recommended critical mass for ES. That's not the same thing as saying that AAP kids have to be in the majority or have their own school to succeed. If there are 2 AAP classes and 3-4 GE in a Center, most  AAP parents are fine.  Reverse those numbers, and GE parents get on this board on this board say their kids can't learn, or are somehow being harmed. [/quote]
