Far cry from "bullying" though; unless that means any comment that [b]potentially[/b] hurts someone's feelings. [/quote]

I think that[b] purposefully [/b]is the operative word in this case.  That does qualify as bullying.

Exactly.  These girls knew exactly what they were saying was hurtful and mean.[/quote]

And you know this how?  It's amusing how you think you can somehow discern what two little girls had in mind when you weren't even present when the conversation occurred.  You just want to say mean things about the children who got into AAP.

[i]"So my DS came home today and said that he had the distinct pleasure (not) of sitting behind two AAP 3rd grade girls who were crowing about the fact that they were in the "smart" classes at their center school. Apparently they were arguing with another girl, saying they were smarter than her because she is not in AAP."[/i]

What's amusing is your truly lame attempt at spinning the above scenario into something innocent and benign.  I don't care if these kids are in AAP or not, what they said was flat-out mean.  You also weren't there and yet you seem insistent on making this into a scene from Sesame Street.  Grow up.

"Apparently..."  And who knows exactly what was said to whom during the "arguing"?

Tell a better story next time.  What's lame is your sad effort to craft a little vignette just so you can crap on AAP kids and create a flimsy predicate for your argument that AAP centers should be entirely eliminated.[/quote]

You just keep right on denying what these kids said was wrong.  It speaks volumes about you.[/quote]

Kids argue.  You need to get over yourself and not try to turn kids into villains because they got into AAP.  Shame on you.[/quote]

Oh for God's sake.  Shame on you for not acknowledging that what these kids said was very rude and hurtful.  I'm happy someone stepped in when they did.  AAP is really the least of my concerns.  I'd feel exactly the same way if kids were belittling another because she wasn't pretty enough, or athletic enough, or what have you.  Get over [b]yourself[/b] and try empathy one of these days.[/quote]

So where are the posts harping on similar purported incidents in which one kid was bragging to another about his or her superior looks or athletic skills, with the poster labeling it "bullying," and calling upon an entire community to revamp programs and reach out to children to instill the values of kindness and eschew such comparisons?

If there are any, they pale in number to the steady supply of manufactured posts complaining about the alleged mistreatment of GenEd kids at the hands of "insufferable" and "crowing" AAP students.  Your hypocrisy is utterly revolting.  [/quote]
