Also, next time I post an answer I'll run it by you to ensure I don't add anything non-responsive or extraneous. FWIW, I know very well how to respond in a direct manner.  I manage a [b]$1.5B[b] program, write policy and congressional testimony as part of my job and I'm certainly not going to give my responses on an anonymous forum much thought after the type of work I do all day.  And for the record, THAT was bragging (see bold).

Mr./Mrs. $1.5B Program Manager, here's a sticker for you...  http://i3.cpcache.com/product/215044177/aap_oval_sticker.jpg[/quote]

You really don't get it do you?  I have no need for this sticker.  I didn't have to coach my kid or cross my fingers or even hope that she'd get in.  This program was meant for kids like her.  This is on the special needs spectrum.  If you are working so hard to get your kid into this program it's not meant for them.  I'll repeat that it's not bragging when you talk about your child's special needs and this is a special need for her. Jealousy is an ugly trait.[/quote]

Thank you, Madam Program Manager, that you took time out of your busy schedule to enlighten us about the ideal match between the program and your child's special needs. We do sincerely hope that the congressional testimony will not suffer too great a drawback due to the fact that your attention was momentarily directed at participating in a catfight on a mommy forum.[/quote]

Oh my gosh...no YOU don't get it.  First, I didn't work to get my kid in the program.  I'm a different poster, from the one you're harping o one but I'm one you did brag to earlier but not the one you're bragging to now.  You need not harp on how bright your kid is.  If your kid is that bright, great.  You don't need to knock other kids' brightness to make you feel yours is the brightest star out there.  FWIW, my kid got a 16 GBRS.  My kid got in without appeal.  I don't need to dis another kid, another parent, brag about myself, cram anything down someone else's throat, make someone feel the program isn't for her kid, etc. only because I feel piss poor about myself.  You need a lesson in how to treat others.  [/quote]

NP: FYI, you do come off as defensive.  [/quote]

I'd rather be defensive than be telling people that the program wasn't meant for this or that kid at a time when parents are obviously hoping their kids get in.  My kid is in third (AAP) and other is in first so this doesn't relate to me right now.[/quote]
