[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

And in a nutshell, you've just described beautifully why AAP parents are so insufferable.  Thanks![/quote]

#SorryNotSorry. You came to an AAP discussion board. And purposefully make it impossible for parents who want to have a substantive discussion about gifted education to do so by interrupting Every. Single. Conversation. with the exact same anti-AAP screed.  It's like trying to eat dinner with a particularly self centered toddler. No matter what the question or issue, everyone has to stop and pay attention to your AAP is evil and AAP kids a brats rant. And since there is no DCUM equivalent of hiring a babysitter so the adults can have a nice dinner with a glass of wine and intelligent conversation, expect to be called on it. PS-- Life is unfair, mostly in Syria, but I'm sure FCPS comes in a close 2nd.  But even under these (admittedly) hostile and intolerable circumstances, what do you expect when you direct your name calling and nastiness towards a bunch of elementary school aged kids?  [/quote]

You're addressing your own personal temper tantrum to many posters, but perhaps you actually think only one person feels that way.  No matter; it's clear you are just as nasty as those you're attempting to call out.  Pot, meet kettle.[/quote]
