[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP.  Your comments are really mean and kin to the disrespectful behaviors non-AAP kids are having to deal with from many of their AAP kid peers and neighbors.  It happens a lot and it seems you are blind to it.  Thank you if you are teaching your children respect and acceptance but many others are not.  However, I have a hard time believing you are when you are telling the PP to basically get over it and move.  This is not respect and tolerance.  I have seen the behaviors OP is speaking about, my children have been targeted by it, my children have lost friends because of it.  And honestly it is not the children it is the parents who are teaching this by leading their children to believe they are superior, smarter, etc...  While most rational adults know this is just not true.  Yes there are a small percentage of very "smart" kids in AAP and also GE.   So for parents to teach their children this elevated sense of reality is a very disturbing behavior.  When[b] reality hits the fan and precious gets looked over for that favorite university, first job, or, promotion, what are mommy and daddy going to do then - what are these children going to do then?

What good does it do for her to anger and stew over a third grade placement decision for someone else's kids, thousands of whom she has never met, and attack these people, their integrity and their kids?

It is normal to feel disappointed perhaps at first, hurt if someone says or does something mean, but then the rational and healthy thing is to get over it.

This disappointment she is experience is just a blip on her child's radar, unless mom chooses to draw it out and make it more than it needs to be.

And if you really knew thousands of parent with kids in AAP well enough to speak to their character, you would know that the vast majority of them are parents just like you who want the best for their kids and who are trying to help their kids become successful, productive adults.

Look at your own words, especially the bolded part.  That is good lesson for all of the parents and kids to learn, not just the kids placed in AAP by fcps, but also the kids who did not qualify for the program.  Look at your own reaction to your child (I am not going to disparage a kid with the snide term that you used) "gets looked over" for AAP?  You are showing your child by your behavior and your words exactly "what mommy and daddy are going to do then".

There are nice kids in AAP and not nice kids in AAP, just the same as any class in any school in this country.

The only difference here is that a bunch of adults who are bitterly disappointed that their child did not get what they wanted, and angry that someone else's child did, and so they feel it gives them the right to hold onto the anger for years and attack someone else's children over and over.

Yes, I am saying you should get over the anger.  It is not good for you and it is not good for your child.[/quote]
