[quote=Anonymous]It seems to me that arguing that AAP-eligible kids would be nerds or outcasts at their base school is just a clever way of arguing they deserve favorable treatment. It sounds better than explicitly arguing that the other kids are a bunch of Neanderthals, but the intent is essentially the same. You're just prepared to use slightly pejorative language about your own kids to secure the same special benefits denied other children. There are very few children who really have the combination of smarts and idiosyncrasies that would lead them to be ostracized in a typical classroom, if they were properly socialized, but AAP parents have a vested interest in making sure the skin of their children remains very thin.
