[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Know why parents freak out about entry into AAP?  Several reasons.  One being that the program is so bloated that it's embarrassing for some parents to be excluded.

And secondly, the obvious public nature of "Centers."  It's easy to drop it into casual conversation how smart your child is if he/she doesn't go to the neighborhood school.

Get rid of centers, pare the program from the gigantic ego trip it's become to a real G/T program, and move on. [/quote]

It is silly to make a bad decision just because some parents are embarrassed, feel left out, and get their feeling hurt easily.[/quote]

[b]I don't think getting rid of centers in areas with enough kids for local level IV is a bad decision,.  It's a decision that makes sense based on budget constraints, and emotions on both sides should be irrelevant.[/quote][/b]

And anyone who doesn't think that this is what will eventually happen in these areas is kidding themselves.  [/quote]

I don't think a lot of people are against this. They understand for instance that Chesterbrook really doesn't need to send their kids to Haycock and Great Falls really doesn't need to send their kids to Colvin Run. Where I think the anti-AAP parents go awry is when they bring up eliminating AAP entirely.[/quote]
