[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW, the consensus I gather from talking with parents of (believe it or not) AAP and non-AAP students and many educators is that the current program has lost its distinguished reputation for the "cream of the crop" and has become a place mostly to deal with students who are disruptive, obstinate, low achievers.

Please share your survey methodology. Thank you.

So anecdotal only.  Thank you.

You are bitching to at least a hundred people or more about AAP?

Holy cow!

I am sure many of them roll their eyes as you head there way and after you leave.  [b]They are likely agreeing with you because you are so worked up about this, and because it is sooo much easier to just smile and nod when someone can't get off a tangent.[/b]

That is so irrational!  The poor parents at your school.

Are you the mom who wanted to organize a class action lawsuit against fcps over AAP selection?  Give it up, lady.  You will feel so much better and your health will improve as well.[/quote]

I know, right?  Kind of like those pathetic parents who are stalking the mailbox and/or email inbox for their snowflakes' test scores and constantly asking other parents if they've gotten their results yet.  Nothing obsessive or scary about a laser focus on your 7 yr. old's chances of making AAP.  [/quote]

Actually, it is quite different.

Those parents are at least worrying about their own children.

You? You are freaking out and obsessing about a bunch of other people's children in a class your child is not a part of in a school your child might or might not attend.

Craziness.

I feel for all the folks that you keep talking to about this.  It must be very annoying for them to remain so polite.[/quote]

PP here.  I think you should really stop assuming you're having a conversation with just one person.  There are several people on this forum contributing their thoughts, and I for one am not the pregnant poster.  I'm just a regular ol' run-of-the-mill parent who *gasp* actually has a child in AAP.  However, I'm reluctant to even mention this to others (friends, acquaintances, whomever) because I don't want to be viewed as one of those CRAZY AAP parents who are living vicariously through their elementary-aged children.  It's quite embarrassing.[/quote]
