What does that have to do with differentiated learning?  AAP/Gen Ed?[/quote]

I think that if my son were with more academic peers -- as in he had [b]more than one other kid[/b] that was at his academic level in his base school -- he might have been less isolated and subject to bullying.  He came home in tears so many times due to how poorly he was treated at recess.  In our case, he was thrilled to leave his base school to go to the Center as he escaped the tormenting.[/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]

NP.  This is not true at all.  It seems to me that the guidance counselor had more of a role helping PP's kid than the other AAP students.  AAP students can be relentless bullies and often get away wtih it more because of larger class sizes and more group work.  [/quote]
