[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Completely agree with above poster. Who gives a whit about "back in the day"? [/quote]

Well, people who have older children who were in what was actually a very small program for [b]gifted[/b] kids - GT.  Now it's just a massive, slightly accelerated program for mainstream kids which only serves to divide schools that used to be communities.  So I give more than just a "whit," because I'm tired of trying to explain to my child why there are so many more AAP kids at his school than GE.  Because it's definitely not because all these kids are smarter than most Gen Ed kids.  [/quote]

Because the center takes children found eligible from several area schools, not just his.  That is why.

Is your child really so preoccupied with the number of AAP vd Gen Ed kids at his school that he keeps asking you about it? I find that a little strange. [/quote]

Really?  When there are four AAP classes and only two Gen Ed in his grade, then yes - it's pretty much an "in-your-face" situation every day.  He's certainly not the only child who has felt this gross imbalance; lots of parents have talked to the administration about it after hearing from their own children.

How would you like for your own child to feel inferior in his/her own school?  Can you not put yourself in their places?  It seems now it's the Gen Ed kids who will need to find "critical mass".  Perhaps there should be centers for them, too.[/quote]
