[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't it interesting that 90% of the posts on the "AAP" forum, at least in this thread, appear to be from disgruntled parents of children in the GE program?  I thought the idea of this forum was to keep you from being offended by any mention of the program, but here you are, seeking out an opportunity to attack any parent who is genuinely interested in discussing the structure and delivery of the educational program that FCPS says is appropriate for their child and is supposed to be providing.

You all are so quick to trash the AAP program and accuse parents of trying to elevate their children at the expense of yours -- never considering that perhaps YOU are the ones who cannot tolerate the thought that another child may need a different kind of educational program -- not better, different  -- and one that is promised by this public school system as appropriate for that child.  [b]Would you tell the parent of a child with a learning disability, physical challenges, or other special needs that the public school system is not the place for them, because it's not fair that anyone gets anything different from what your child receives? [/b] Your anger, snark, misunderstanding of GT education, and stubborn insistence that most posters' children could not possibly have different educational needs is really only revealing of your own ignorance and insecurities.

I think it's already been stated, ad nauseum, that most of us are absolutely in favor of classes for special needs children, at both ends of the spectrum.  Are the majority of AAP kids "special needs" or just average/slightly above average kids?  [/quote]
