[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Keene Mill AAP parent.  I find the alfresco to be a disgusting idea.  In no way, shape, or form do I want to teach my child this kind of elitism.  Why a parent would buy into this knowing it is so exclusionary is beyond me.  What happened to kindness, empathy and just straight up compassion?  How would you feel if you were a general education kid and you really wanted to go but too bad, so sad because you aren't smart enough to be in AAP.  Gross.[/quote]

As a Keene Mill AAP parent, can you not do something about it? Bring it up at a PTA meeting? It's exclusionary programs like this (it's actually the only one I know of) that give AAP a bad name in the County.[/quote]

No, unfortunately.   There is no school or PTA involvement.  You could talk directly to the organizers but I doubt they would consider discontinuing the practice.  I'm sure whoever is organizing has heard these complaints before.  The fastest way to shut it down is for the parents to stop sending their kids.  [/quote]

That's ridiculous. You completely can do something about it. Stop posting about the problems of AAP and actually do something about it at your own school. Stop waiting for someone else to deal with the problem or for kids to move out. How would that help you anyway? Bring it up at the PTA meeting and with the principal as a divisive issue you see in the school. Plan a new activity that will include the entire school and will replace this program. I'm sure there are more parents like you who would support a fix. This program has been one of the causes of people rallying against AAP and now asking for the program to be shut down. Take some initiative to fix the problem. We have had some problems like this and have been able to fix them within our own PTA.[/quote]

You are an idiot.  Do you think these things have not been done before?  Crikey.  [/quote]
