Need to be given the opportunity. Labeling, lower expectations in GE ... it's self fulfilling. Kids told they aren't good enough, aren't as smart, aren't capable.

Most parents are not aware of AAP. I had not heard about it until I looked up what the NNAT was and what it was for. I had a parent ask a group of parents volunteering at DS end of the year picnic if anyone knew what this Level II letter he received for his daughter was. Most of the other parents said they had not gotten such a letter and looked confused. I know a parent who was surprised when she received a letter that her child was accepted into AAP, she did not know he was in pool and in consideration for AAP.

Maybe it is different at Centers but our school does not have Local Level IV. I doubt the kids who are at the school have a clue that they did not go to AAP.

I knew about honors classes and the like when I was a kid. I knew I was not in them. It did not bother me. It was not a big deal.

Is it possible that some kid in Gen Ed feels lesser than because they are not in AAP? Yes. But that kid would feel lesser than if they were not in the top reading group or the special pull out group or how ever services were given to gifted kids without AAP.
