[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no need to mention anything to the kids if no school change is involved.  Classroom composition changes every year, and no classroom will have an AAP label on the door, so why say anything?  I have one in 4th grade AAP, and one is just admitted.  I said nothing and pretend to know nothing about AAP.  My older makes friends across classrooms and I expect my younger to be the same.  That is just healthier.  [/quote]

Of course there's no "AAP" sign on the classroom doors - but you are [b]very[/b] naive if you think the kids don't know exactly who's in AAP and who's not.  My child will mention kids to me in passing, prefacing it with, "She's in AAP" or "He's in Gen Ed".  The other day the entire grade went on a field trip and the AAP classes traveled in one group, with the Gen Ed classes in another group - the teachers kept the classes the divided up that way.  The kids aren't allowed to mingle at lunch - AAP classes sit at their tables and Gen Ed at theirs.  The school pays lip service to the kids all mingling during specials, lunch, etc.  - but they don't.  Not even on the field trips.  This is a center school, and every single kid knows what class every other kid is in.  It is very much an us and them situation and it truly sucks.[/quote]
