[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By far the brightest child in my child's AAP class has an IEP for some kind of psychiatric problem. I would guess she is bipolar or maybe severe ADHD. I have known the family for years. This kid is off-the-charts brilliant and exactly the kind of kid who needs the AAP class (but can be hugely distracting to the other kids).[/quote]

this is just sad.  what about the other 29 kids in the class.  that child takes time away from all of their learning.  the kid might be smart but his education doesn't have to come at the cost of everyone elses.  [/quote]

The other kids learn to deal with it, that's what happens.  Just like in life.  It's good for them to realize that they cannot always be the center of attention.  I've found that the AAP centers (at least ours) is very well equipped to deal with 2E kids -- much mores than the general education classes.  I would venture to guess that the 2E kids are LESS disruptive in an AAP class than they would be in GE because they are not bored and the teachers know what to do with them.  Also, from what I can tell from my kid's AAP experience, the kids in the class seem to help each other and they learn to deal with the kids that are different or need more attention.  Get over yourself![/quote]
