[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow OP. I've never heard of what you're going through. The most I've heard is that the parents do this. Very strange to see children do this especially the first year. If your child is K, give it a little bit more time. It's only been a couple of weeks.[/quote]

I actually have heard this and experienced it.  Here is the thing - kids are observant.  At any school they are noticing who is in which reading or math group, who goes to the reading specialist, etc.  It is human nature to take note of one's environment and "place" yourself within the levels that you see.  At AAP center schools, especially, kids are very aware of who is in which class.  I do not hear mean or degrading comments but I do hear [b]a lot [/b]of comments about who "is smartest" and even a few who "works harder".[/quote]

[b]An AAP child at ds's bus stop told ds that he could be in AAP if he would "grow a bigger brain and work harder".  Nice[/b].[/quote]

Yes, it happens, but that kid would probably be a pill whether or not he was in AAP.[/quote]
