[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every FCPS teacher's nightmare.  The following acronyms profiling one student.

2E
ADHD
AAP

Please for everyone's sake (teachers, students, parents), enroll your student in the regular curriculum before you constantly harass teachers and counselors to babysit and nurse your little snowflake to class.[/quote]

Because why should we make an effort to challenge a child who is very bright but processes information differently? I mean, by all means, lets keep "those kids" out of challenging programs that might engage them and help them to grow as people.

Many kids with learning disabilities and ADHD have above average intelligence, they process information differently. Once you understand how a child processes information, the child is capable of very impressive work. Asking teachers and the school district to help a child understand how they learn is hardly all that much to ask. Or are you actually advocating that we consign bright kids who learn differently to a world of mediocrity or failure because a child might need a bit of extra help?

No one is saying that kids with more serious learning issues should be in AAP, but kids with learning issues who are intelligent should have the same access to AAP as a kid without said learning issues.  [/quote]
