I am not the poster you keep arguing with and antagonizing

It is quite simple really.

Those kid of kids who are usually on their own and social outcasts at most schools have, at the centers, a peer group of 6-10 kids who are just like them or very similarly quirky.

They go from a situation where they are either completely isolated, ignored or bullied at a typical school, to a school where they have not just one friend who is a friend by default, but several friends.
Like it or not, there is a disproportionately higher geek factor in the AAP center, that gives the kids who would normally be outcasts a group of friends. It gives these typesf kids the opportunity to develop friendships in a more natural and normal way than they are able to in a typical school where they are all alone at best, or bullied and ostracized at worst.

Whether you like AAP centers or hate them, that aspect is by far one of the best things about them.[/quote]
