[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Center teacher here. Class of 28 and at best 3 are truly in need of AAP.  The rest would be best served in gen ed. they are bright and work hard but FAR from gifted, what the program was meant to serve before it was so watered down.  I am so tired of the parents who insist their children "need" aap.  It is elementary school![/quote]

[b]From your grammatical errors, I would hope you aren't a center teacher[/b]....

I'm suspect for other reasons as well, among them your claiming that parents insist their children "need" AAP. They're already in--why would they be lobbying you?

Lastly, lucky you, who gets to complain about bright, hard-working students! I'm sure there are many in Fairfax County who would love to trade places.[/quote]

But the grammatical errors would be just find for a GE teacher?   :roll:  AAP teachers are simply regular teachers who have completed an extra certificate.  No magic happens to produce AAP teachers.  They are just as fallible as any other and certainly no smarter.

And I imagine the parents aren't "lobbying" her; probably just taking her aside in their sycophantic way and crowing about how glad they are that their kids are in AAP since they "needed" it so much.[/quote]

No, the grammatical errors wouldn't be just "find" for a Gen. Ed. teacher, either--not sure why you assumed that, as it certainly was not stated. My second-grader is expected to capitalize and punctuate simple sentences properly, and I would expect the same for all teachers, especially when they identify themselves as such.

You can "imagine" whatever you want about allegedly crowing parents. Again, this was not stated in the original post.[/quote]
