[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]7:03 is a perfect example of the extreme responses of AAP haters on this board. They have one feeling that they project onto every comment and thread. Then they repeat. And repeat. It is such a violent and emotional response.[/quote] +1 This sort of extreme response would not be tolerated on the Special Needs board.[/quote] You would never see this sort of response on the special needs board because people understand that kids with special needs need assistance and special programs. I think to a certain extent people also understood why truly gifted children needed the GT program (which also fell under special needs). [b]The problem with the AAP program is that it is not a necessary program for many of the children in it.[/b] Many of the children now in AAP are advanced not because of ability but because of parent-provided enrichment. I'm not saying parents shouldn't teach their kids stuff if they want to, just that it is not a level playing field.[/quote] [b]So because some parents prep their kids for the CogAT, for the IAAT, and even for the NNAT :shock: then all students in AAP are considered "bored" and the type of kids that "feel it is fine to slam GE kids." ?!? Seems a bit extreme and overreaching.[/[/b]quote] I don't understand what this comment is in response to?[/quote]
