[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NNAT 99%tile. In-Pool letter dated 1/21 and received 1/24 via USPS. Still waiting on CogAT. In process of completing the parent packet. AAP is not for just 2E kids, as PP suggested. It is for Advanced Learners. DD has kids in AAP class who don't belong there. They are smart but very disruptive. There should be a special class for 2E kids with disruption issues, as it is not fair to DD and her type; brilliant and well-mannered.[/quote]

I am the PP of the original quote. My DD is not boring; rather she is full of life in appropriate settings. I am really sick and tired of the parents of out of control kids blaming the kids behavior on a disability. Give me a break. When DDs teacher has to parent the kids who don't know got to sit down and shut up when he teacher is speaking, and this 5th grade AAP, it is infuriating.  Perhaps parents of disruptive kids should take special parenting classes to learn how to train their kid to act appropriate. Honestly, I am not about keeping DC in a bubble, but am tired of the nonsense. And for the record, i appreciate quirkiness, I am quirky. I am not disruptive. [/quote]

I agree completely with this poster.  She has a right to expect that her child will not have to put up with disruption in an AAP class.   My boy is in the program and has been diagnosed with ADHD.  However.  he works to control himself and to most adults and teachers he has had, appears as an energetic, intelligent boy.  We have raised him to be respectful and attentive at school, and not disruptive to others.  No teacher has ever raised issues with his behavior in the class room.  He participates in sports after school 4 days a week and that goes a long way as an outlet for his energy.  When I was a kid, kids that could not behave were sent out of the class room and their parents notified.  Believe me, if my parents were called by the school because I was causing problems in class, I would know I would regret it when I got home.  It is amazing how otherwise disruptive kids can fall into line when teachers and parents discipline them in front of their peers.  Its unfortunate that the the hyper-PC environment of today prevents this in many instances.  For most, it only takes one trip to the principals office and a call to the parents to eliminate the problem.[/quote]
