[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are AAP kids who turned snooty and outright stated that they were smarter than the GenEd kids.  They picked on the GenEd students at lunch, in hallways, making them brunt of jokes and put downs.  Meanwhile, we see tremendous compassion and patience extended from the GenEd students who learn to cheer on dyslexics, ESOL, and SpEd.  While the AAP kids picked up on the ‘walk all over’ attitude of their parents, the GenEd students shined with a resiliency and caring attitude. This built the GenEd up in the formative years and took them to the Ivies. [/quote]

I'm sure there are jerk kids in AAP, just as I'm sure there are jerk kids in Gen Ed who pick on the AAP kids. There are kind, compassionate kids in gen ed, just as there are in AAP. There are 2E kids in AAP as well as Gen Ed. It's really going to be kid/school dependent. [/quote]

It’s not just the kids. It’s the parents. I had one straight up tell me, thinking my kid was in AAP, that those kids were better and it was best they keep separated from Gen Ed kids.

This sort of opinion permeates AAP, parents and kids. And it is with great -though silent-  pleasure that I now see my Gen Ed kid lappping lots of those AAP kids. [/quote]
Not all AAP parents. I love my local
Level IV bc the parents are mostly chill. But I heard our center has some of those behaviors. I’ve said it before as an AAP parent in this forum that AAP is not a GT program. But honestly-you sound just as insecure as the AAP parents who are complaining about PP. How about we focus on our own kids and stop making comparisons to make ourselves feel better? [/quote]

LOL. I have zero to be insecure about. My kid is doing fantastic and didn't need AAP to do it. Howeve,r I have dealt with AAP kids and parents for the last 10 years, thinking they're special. Demanding separate field trips, separate promotion ceremonies . . . So, yeah, this is not a "both sides" type of thing. But whatever makes you feel better, I guess. [/quote]
PP here. That seems crazy and like a school specific thing.  Hopefully your school admin nipped it in the bud? I can’t imagine requesting separate ceremonies. [/quote]
