If we're talking about "entitlement," we should be discussing why one group of kids in FCPS is given a choice of schools, while the other group is not. [/quote]

Where do you want my child receiving special ed services to go? Our neighborhood school does not have the staff to support him. Should our neighborhood school hire specialists to meet his needs? Personally, I think it is less expensive to send him to a school to be with other children with similar needs, and the appropriate staff are in place for all of these children.[/quote]

No one here is talking about special ed children.  We're talking about AAP kids.  Please don't equate the two as that [b]only serves to insult kids who actually need special education; which AAP is not[/b].[/quote]

My son receives both special ed services and AAP services. Are you suggesting he should not receive both of these services?[/quote]

AAP is not a special ed. program.  Are their kids in AAP who receive special ed services?  Sure.  But AAP as a stand alone program is [b]not[/b] special ed.  Stop trying to equate the two.  I'd love to see how the parents on the Special Needs forum would react to that.   :roll: [/quote]

I am a frequent poster on the Special Needs forum as my son and daughter both receive special ed services, although my daughter does not receive AAP services. What you are suggesting is that my son should not have a "choice" of schools. I disagree with you. I believe other parents would also disagree with you.[/quote]

You are incorrect.  What I am suggesting is that AAP kids - those who have [i]no special needs [/i]- should not be given a choice of school.  Kids who are in Gen Ed but also don't receive special ed services aren't given a choice of school.  Nowhere did I say anything about where special needs kids should be educated.  You're the one who keeps bringing trying to turn it into a straw man.  Why do you insist on equating AAP with special needs?  This discussion isn't about special ed.[/quote]
This back and forth is idiotic and completely irrelevant to this thread.  Why did you (or someone who thinks like you) ever feel the need to steer the discussion toward [b]your own entitlement issue[/b]?  We get that you don't like kids at LLIV schools having center as an option.  But why not discuss it in a new thread? [/quote]

Perhaps you should refresh yourself with the definition of entitlement:  "the feeling or belief that you deserve to be given something (such as special privileges)."  [/quote]
Why bother looking it up when you're such a perfect demonstration of entitlement in action?  And since when is hoping people stay on topic expecting special privileges?  Get a freaking grip.  [/quote]

If it wouldn't be so bothersome to him, I would love to ask Jeff how prolific this particular anti AAP poster is in the various AAP threads.

[b]Based off writing style, I can't help but think there are a couple of people who are constantoy derailing every thread in this forum to their/her personal crusade (6tu grade Colvin Run Mom anyone?)[/quote][/b]

When in doubt accuse anyone who disagrees with you of being a troll....and assume it's only 1 person.   Please![/quote]

Seriously.  Such a lazy way of trying to dismiss anyone whose views the PP disagrees with.  Newsflash, PPs:  there are plenty of people out there and here on DCUM who don't feel the way you do about AAP.  [/quote]
How many different ways can you be blindly stupid?  Bolded PP didn't accuse anyone of being a troll, specifically referenced "a couple of people", and didn't disagree with any point of view.  The only issue in this sordid little back and forth is the disagreeable practice of barging into whatever the top thread of the moment is to shoehorn in some irrelevant grief.  Most of us are happy to have put this type of childish, self-centered behavior behind us decades ago.  Others, apparently, not so much. [/quote]
