[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our base school is a center school....when I volunteer there (I have a child in AAP and one in gen ed), it is obvious which classes are AAP.  They are consistently the classes with the children that are more engaged and better behaved.  I've tried multiple times to get my "gen ed" kid into aap so he too would be surrounded by different kids.  Unfortunately even through private testing and appeal he hasn't been accepted.  [/quote]

But the thing is, your kid is probably quite bright and will do just fine in General Ed (two of mine, HS honor students< have).  There's no better time to teach a kid to think for himself than when he's around other kids who aren't models of good behavior.  The way people talk on here you would think that Gen Ed classrooms were zoos, which is hardly the case.   People here need to lighten up -- it is grade school and NONE of it matters in the long run provided you teach your kid the right habits.  Many boys don't even get the importance of school until middle school or high school, but go on to be wildly successful. In fact, their stories are the one's that inspire.

Way, way, way too much anxiety on these boards.
