[quote=Anonymous][quote]OK whatever, so be it, you all are relentlessly "entitled". However, based on my parental observations, it is very clear the majority of the children in the AAP program have behavior problems and cannot function in the standard classroom environment or socially for that matter. Honestly it is probably best for these students to be at a separate school for their benefit but in an advanced academic program, NO.

I'm wondering how you are defining "entitled" in this context. I don't really see any evidence of entitlement in any of the above posts, but maybe I am using the word differently.

You have asked for information from people who have a background in education, so it sounds as though your background is not in education. Just as people who do not work in your field may not always understand everything about what you do for a living, can you see that you may not understand all the details of the educational system because your background is in a different subject area? It's possible that you don't know all the details about the situations of the students you are observing in the AAP class. The AAP classroom is for children whose needs cannot be met in the regular classroom, but that doesn't mean that they "cannot function in the regular classroom...." It is just that the AAP classroom is better suited to their learning needs.

As a parent, of course you love your child and want the best for your child. It is possible that the best fit for your child may be the regular classroom and there is not a thing wrong with that. I do think that the fact that your child is so successful (straight As, does all her work without help)  in the regular classroom is a sign that that classroom is an excellent fit for her, and that is something to be happy about.
