[quote=Anonymous]If a family has a child at a high SES school they often learn very fast that their child may be bright but is not exceptional or is exceptional in only one area and that many other children have different but still worthwhile strengths too. Some of these posts are just written out of fear of the unknown like the one below and not really considering what's best for the entire school. Snowflake just means without a backbone and overly unique. It's used for many different areas besides AAP. There is a valid reason why I want my AAP child to be with AAP students for social studies and science. My child is not some special snowflake but she has an exceptional memory. She can read something once and remember it. What has been so great about AAP is that they move very quickly. This fast pace has made a huge difference for her. To be honest, because her gen Ed early grades had such a high percentage of children learning English the teachers had to go especially slowly in those subjects and my daughter was allowed to just sit there and read a book from home. What a waste of her time. All children deserve to be challenged in school. [/quote]
