[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not all about taunting or bullying.  It's just a pervasive feeling that the GenEd kids are an afterthought.  That they are lesser.  That they aren't worthy.[/quote]

That self esteem issue comes from home and what kind of attitudes parents put on their kids.

At every age, grade in school kids were and are differentiated and separated out into different learning groups (highest/lowest).  The AAP kids will be differentiated out and be taught material at a much faster paste, getting into higher level material and further along regardless of being in a center school or base school. There has always been gifted kids pulled out and receiving what seems like "more." The issue is that this county has a much higher concentration of gifted kids than other counties and areas of the country, so the program is much larger. This is a fault  of our area attracting  a population  of over achievers. Not a fault of the school district or AAP. The school district is simply accommodating the population it serves. [/quote]
