[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they came to the May orientation, they could easily have been parent referred.  Regardless, it sounds like you are waaay too interested in who and why kids are admitted to AAP.  [/quote]

That's a funny accusation coming from someone who was just directing a lot of vitriol at the parents you speculate pushed their kids into AAP, without any basis as far as I can tell.   My assumption/understanding is that the kids were all screened by the same committee and accepted seems pretty reasonable to me.  But I suppose your judgment about a program you haven't actually been a part of and children who are not your own is probably superior.[/quote]

Not sure to whom you are directing [b]your [/b]vitriol, but you do realize there are multiple posters here with the same POV, right?[/quote]

It's hard to tell sometimes when people basically same the same thing over and over. Whether you are one person or several, it's always the same --- my GE child is just as smart, your child wouldn't be in if you hadn't pushed -- it's the same message from the same type of embittered GE parents, obsessing over the entrance requirements and constantly insinuating that most kids in AAP only got there because of pushy parents, not because educators placed them into the program.[/quote]

But can't you imagine how you would feel if the shoe was on the other foot?  What if it was your child who wasn't in AAP but was fully capable of doing the work, and all of his/her friends were in the program only because they happened to score just a few points higher on one test?  I think if AAP parents would imagine themselves in this situation for once, they wouldn't be so dismissive of the very valid concerns Gen Ed parents have.  [/quote]
