[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no mixing at all of AAP and gen Ed at Haycock. Not in any specials (except maybe band), or for any coursework. My 6th grader has been there for 4 years and doesn't know a single kid in gen Ed. I will agree that the principal showed her true colors this year. So glad we're on our way out. [/quote]

It must have really bothered you if he spent four years without making Gen Ed friends.  Hypocrite.  [/quote]

How does your kid make friends at school? 
Do you randomly call people out of the directory and invite them over, or do they meet kids in class and go from there? 
How is a kid expected to befriend kids he's never around?

The poster's child probably didn't make any friends outside the program because their child didn't go to Haycock before being in AAP. For the base children, they have friends from K-2 classes, recess, extracurriculars, and local sports teams. They maintain these friendships into the later grades.  I think most parents are hoping that with greater balance between the gen ed and AAP, and less students from other base schools, that there will be less of a division. [/quote]

If this is truly what the haycock parents want, why don't you lobby the school board to get rid of the center and make Haycock Local Level IV?  40% of the center is from Haycock anyway.  Next year, the center loses all of the Cluster 2 kids, so the Haycock percentage would be even greater.  You might as well get rid of the center and have all neighborhood kids, then the parents will not feel so put out.[/quote]
