[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately APS' parent disability groups (ASEAC and SEPTA) are dominated by closed schoolers and forced child maskers[/quote]

Here come the APE trolls attacking the disability groups now. Have you no shame?[/quote]

I am not an APE troll, and I 100% agree with this. I would also add that the "gifted" parents are well-organized and demanding, as well. [b]Gifted is technically special ed, so time / resources spent on gifted is taken away from kids with learning disabilities. [/b]As a parent of a gifted learner, a neurodivergent learner, and a "regular" learner, it is absolutely infuriating that APS bends to the loud detractor PARENTS instead of doing what's right by the neurodivergent students.

This doesn't sound right.  The gifted teacher is not the same as the sped staff who help with learning disabilities.  Why invent a battle for resources that doesn't exist?  Gifted kids in elementary get the minimum the schools can provide:  usually one gifted teacher shared by the whole school and minimal differentiation by the classroom teacher.  Kids below grade level get all other available resources, specialists, assistants and staffing.[/quote]
