[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading these posts, I don't see a lot of AAP parents who are saying mean things about Gen Ed kids-- but boy is it clear that there are a lot of Gen Ed parents who are very vocal about not wanting AAP kids in their school.  If you think your kids don't pick up on that attitude, you're wrong. Also, I've had kids in 3 FCPS schools at various levels, some AAP Centers and some LLIV a centers, and I have yet to run across a PTA a that isn't grateful for every parent volunteer-- AAP or Gen Ed.  If you want a say in how your school is run, show up and volunteer, instead of griping on DCUM. [/quote]

It's not a matter of not wanting AAP kids in our schools - but in many [i]centers[/i], AAP kids become the majority and the dynamic between them and the Gen Ed kids isn't healthy.  It's not right for Gen Ed kids to be looked at as if they're somehow "less than" simply because they are not as well-represented as their AAP counterparts.  AAP kids should never be a majority, at any school; they should be the exception to the rule.  [/quote]
