[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow.  Not reading the whole thread, because I'm sure it contains the same AAP bashing as every other thread with the exact same parents. All four of you should get together and start a climb. So *Yawn*. [b]And get over it. Your kid was not in the top 15%. So cope. 
[/b]
But also, imagine if you took all of the ranting and raving and channeled it somewhere productive, like starting an FCAG type advocacy group for GE kids. Less fun that venting ad infinitim, I know. But it could lead to constructive suggestions to make GE better (since no matter how you contort your arguments, your kids will never sit on an AAP classroom).

Or you could continue with the sour grapes, tweenage girl type griping. Which no one takes seriously. [/quote]

You really don't get it do you?  [b]Half the people critical of AAP, and I am one of them, have kids in the program[/b].  But I guess dismissing people who care more about a system and its effects on everyone, as opposed to just their own kids, is the only way you "AAP or die" folks can make your argument.

And I and several people I know have channeled plenty of energy into productive pursuits to make the schools better for all kids.  This includes advocating against AAP as it currently exists.  You do realize that this is how change happens, don't you?   Or was that perhaps not included in your paint-by-number to achievement schooling?    YAWN, right back at you.

Not PP, but is this intended to elicit gasps?  Self haters are still haters.  Change does NOT start with statements like "AAP wrecks the emotional health of all students".  If you believe that, you could always quit the program.  Or is there something more specific your AAP kids have that you'd like to take away from them?[/quote]
