[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]If you want to play referee (and why would you??? It's a lost cause), you should at least read the whole thread. The GE parents have a world of nasty going on as well. Starting with the title/ premise of the thread. This was not designed to be a thoughtful, rational discussion about the weaknesses of the system, and how to make improvements. Although there are some thoughtful posts about how improve the system from both sides, they got quickly over run with personal insults. This thread was started to bash AAP, and early posters complied. After 7-8 pages of AAP bashing, AAP parents started pushing back. It's hard to believe someone would read the title and a handful of posts at the end and decide that AAP parents are bullies. At this point in the thread, both sides are pretty equally culpable.[/quote]

Out of curiosity I went back and the first personal insults were thrown by an AAP booster. I caught on a few pages later, but some of the earlier sentiments were quoted. It also looks like the thread started somewhere else and was moved to AAP. Guess that interfered with OP's intentions of a non-aap discussion/vent session. Too many emotions on the line for all sides to have a rational discussion here.

I also noticed that FCC and APS have had some unflattering posts recently too. Guess they all have downsides.

Anyway, back to the real estate posts - plenty of drama there.  :P

Actually, if you read the thread from the first page, insults started from post #1 by OP and others against AAP.

Post #1 referred to AAP parents as overbearing parents who push and steal AAP spots for their undeserving kids.

Post #2 referred to AAP parents as being narcissistic parents who cheat, prep, do all sorts of "bullshit" and  make their unprepared and undeserving kids miserable and crying so the parents can have bragging rights over their little "geniuses: (first insult towards AAP kids, 8 year olds, in post two).

Post #4 referred to AAP classes as a "circus"

Post #5 referred to AAP kids as only being admitted because their parents "brown nose" administrations

The insults continue post after post against AAP parents or even worse, against the kids (elementary, 7-11 year olds). Classy.

The first insult by an AAP parent was somewhere down page 3 where they said that fcps AAP runs circles around other districts in the area's gifted programs.

[b]OMG.  It's unbelievable that you felt it so necessary to go back and document said what[/b].   :roll: [/quote]

Is safe to assume you were one of the quoted?[/quote]

No, actually,  it's not.  And you know what happens when you assume.[/quote]
