[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I found the Center school to be discriminatory against Gen Ed. Not the same number of field trips, less schoolwide/gradewide activities, parties and events. Favor given to AAP kids over the neighborhood kids. One year, they needed more kids to make the AAP class size work so they chose some Gen Ed kids to include. They didn’t need them the next year so these kids were OUT and back to Gen Ed. How is that acceptable?  They have new leadership now but the damage was done. We moved. I don’t like that for either group of kids. [/quote]

It's a damaging system to all the kids.  Gen Ed kids are made to feel stupid by their AAP peers and many don't realize that they're just as smart until they reach high school and find themselves in the same AP classes (and often doing better than their former AAP peers).  AAP kids have a very inflated sense of their own intelligence, made so by parents and teachers who fawn over them and insist they're special.  It's incredibly unhealthy.  [/quote]
