[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why parents with no AAP children spend their time on the AAP threads[/quote] Because DCUM provides a really valuable service-- helping GE parents process the 5 stages of grief that accompany being told your child just isn't that bright: denial ("there is no difference between AAP and GE"), anger ("I steer clear of the AAP parents and kids because of the constant aura of superiority that surrounds them), bargaining ("why call it AAP or GE at all? Just offer the best curriculum possible to all kids and call it a day"), depression ("FCPS does not really care about kids") and acceptance. Once their kids are in middle school, most parents have either accepted mediocrity and moved on to the Tweens and Teens board. But for the truly hardcore, they can start the process anew when the TJ a rejection comes in. [/quote]
