[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. Gifted is technically special ed, so time / resources spent on gifted is taken away from kids with learning disabilities. 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.  [/quote]

Huh?  APS does next to nothing for "gifted" kids.  One staff member per school.  I had a kid go through tagged regular and one kid go through gifted.  It's really next to nothing and APS will tell you over and over the gifted extension work is pushed in to all kids and any kid can access it, which is great.

Special ed kids have dedicated aides in classrooms (not suggesting one on one but for the cluster in the classroom), pull outs with learning specialists multiple times a week, etc.  Don't begrudge any of it but acting like they're not getting the most resources is absurd.[/quote]
