[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm under no delusions my child is "gifted". We worked hard on a parent packet to get him into AAP partially because AAP classrooms have less distractions, move faster, and cover a larger depth of materials. More importantly, as poor and elitist as it sounds, the peer groups tend to be better. He's not falling behind, but he's not the smartest kid at his table either. I'm fully aware there are just as qualified kids as him in General Ed that could be swapped out with no difference. All that to say, OP, stay away from your silly ideas that I'd have to re-qualify every year! It was stressful enough the first time, and kid (and parents) don't need the added hardship year to year! Also imagine the social implications of being relegated... Ouch![/quote] This is such a terrible argument! If you admit that any other kid could swap in with yours, and that the environment is better, why would you think you can lay claim to a spot? [/quote]
