Yes.  These comments are commonplace at the center school my kids attend.  The AAP kids, for the most part, are extremely sure of themselves and often refer to Gen Ed as "the dumb classes."  Nice, right?  Especially since the vast majority of Gen Ed and AAP kids are pretty much identical.   [/quote]

That ^^.  When my (non-AAP) kid has been in arguments with other neighborhood kids about various factual things, the AAP kids are quick to decide that they must be correct because they're smart and the non-AAP kids aren't.  This happens even when the AAP kids are completely wrong.  The sad but funny part is that my kid actually had higher test scores and academic achievement than many of the AAP kids in the neighborhood.  We didn't apply (with 97th percentile test scores) because we assumed that unless your kid tested in, that kid didn't really belong in AAP.  The other parents pushed and prepped their kids in with 90th percentile scores, but now are convinced that their kids are gifted.  The whole thing is ridiculous.  [/quote]
