[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is now four posts in a row of ridiculous agreement against an obvious straw man notion [b]no one has espoused.[/b]  It's like watching three-year-olds watch Blue's Clues.    [/quote]

Is the "straw man" notion you're referring to the one in which multiple posters have said that to be successful in high school honors and AP classes, students must take elementary and middle school AAP and/or honors classes?  Because several posters have claimed just that, and then been completely refuted by those of us [b]who actually have kids in high school[/b].  Oh, and also the ludicrous claim that high school honors/AP/IB classes are full of only prior AAP kids - and no prior Gen Ed kids.  It's kind of funny that you would say "no one has espoused" that, when the exact opposite is true.  So what exactly is your straw man?

Hmm, I did find one poster suggesting that "I'm not sure how a kids who doesn't take honors or is in aap will be successful in, say, honors English."  Seems pretty harmless.  Is that what you meant by multiple posters insisting this or insisting that?  The thing is, AAP haters such as yourself care waay more about these topics than anyone else here.  Something I've yet to figure out.  So a catty phrase answering another somehow is rephrased, rebutted, +10,000-ed, and tossed around by the same group of goblins until it's snowballed and shaped into some giant controversy regarded as The Official Position of all who don't hate AAP as much as you do.  It's hilarious to witness how one troll post can send the y'all into apoplectic spasms that span pages.     [/quote]

I'm not sure which "troll" post you're referring to, as I've found people like you love to cry troll whenever someone posts something you disagree with.  You sure didn't make a great effort at going back through the thread and locating all the posts in which various posters (or maybe just you, sock-puppetting) have flat-out said that "GE kids remain GE kids throughout high school," or that "middle school honors are necessary to succeed in high school honors."  So for your convenience and because you sound pretty lazy, I've compiled a list for you to refer to.  In fact, the last one is my favorite as the poster actually states that my kid better not "hold back" her kid in high school, due to lack of middle school honors experience.  I had a good laugh at that one, especially since my kids have already successfully completed multiple high school honors and AP classes and it's pretty clear her kid hasn't even left middle school (or maybe elementary?) yet.

If there's a group of goblins on this thread, it's the posters listed above.  And the fact that you "can't figure out" why those of us responding would be offended to have wild, unfounded, catty generalizations tossed around about our kids simply speaks volumes about you.  Or should I say, "ya'll."  [/quote]
Lol, just saw this.  You must have worked so hard on a snappy comeback and no one noticed, especially PP (me).  Sorry, it was Spring Break.  I won't even try to make sense of it now.  You win by default.  10 points for Slytherin!

Oh, and the preferred spelling is "y'all" not "ya'll".   [/quote]
