[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP.  Your comments are really mean and kin to [b]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. [/b] 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 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?

There are a few kids in my kid's AAP class who are bullied by the non-AAP kids.  Things like name calling, shoving, slamming doors in their faces.  It actually happened to my kid a couple of times.

Do I blame the gen ed program?  Do I lump those kids all together just because of a few rude ones?  No.  They are just a few mean kids and at the age where kids start to do not so nice things to each other.  It happens in the neighborhood, at sports, dance, band, everywhere tweens and pre-teens gather.  It is not unique to AAP.

Do I call them "precious" and "snowflake" and they myriad of slams directed towards kids in AAP?  No.  I don't do that either.  Why?  Because I am a rational adult who does not get my jollies off of saying mean things about kids.[/quote]
