[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][/quote]My DS had plenty of "academic peers"in his school and they still bullied and isolated him.  It is about social intelligence not academic intelligence. He had to be taught social skills.  Bullies will find the weak spot and exploit it.  If your child was in a room filled with his "academic  peers" there would still be a child at the bottom of the social ladder being isolated and bullied.[/quote]

I don't know why you find it so difficult to acknowledge that AAP kids in a center are less likely to bully the type of student described above than GenEd kids. [/quote]

Not PP, but  :roll: at the stereotyping. Hopefully you're not passing that on to your child. Bullying is bullying, and does not discriminate by IQ or SES or whatever other class divider you want to use. Both GenEd and AAP kids can/do bully other kids within and without of their peer group.

Centers will still exist. If they are overcrowded, the feeder schools' capacity and Level IV critical mass will be assessed. If the feeder school has Level IV critical mass and is under capacity, they will cease to be a feeder school and instead just have their in-house Level IV program. If the feeder school has its own capacity issues, or has insufficient Level IV participation, the kids stay at the center.

It is a capacity solution that is long overdue. [/quote]
