[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is at an AAP center and when I hear these types of stories, I am always left wondering "what are these people talking about."  I am sure that there are kids in her class that are just little snots and choose the "smart" taunt instead of something else.  But for the most part, most kids in AAP or GE are not bullies and would not behave like this.  [b]OP, don't extrapolate to all the AAP kids [/b](or Asian kids, or lower SES kids or whatever).  If you want to make a point that AAP kids are meaner and less kind than their age cohort, I think you will need different data (or even anecdotes). One of my kid's BFF is another AAP kid at her center school. Her other  BFF is a GE girl from her base school.  I am sure her experience is not out of the norm and most kids are not spending their time trying to one up other kids. [/quote]

c'mon, surely you figured out the incident was a flimsy pretext to go off yet again on the AAP program -- she said shut it down or open it up to everyone -- and referred to AAP ids as insufferable. This OP has a real burr under her saddle about AAP; if it wasn't this incident it'd be something else. :roll: [/quote]

I see.  So I suppose you call every single anecdote related here on DCUM fictional?  Or is it only the ones you don't like that you discredit?   :shock:[/quote]

?? I didn't say it as fictional. My AAP kid has even complained to me of some of the mean girls, so could very well be true. I said it was a flimsy pretext to go off on yet another diatribe against the whole program.  Shut it down because some 3d graders are mean?  Bit of an overreaction, no?[/quote]
