BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Not the PP, but I can't imagine what you find funny about this. Voters are trying to tell the school board what matters to them. AAP is not one of those things for most people.

Why do you put AAP parents together into one giant group of narcissists and make such blanket statements? I have one in AAP and one in GenEd - FWIW I've never craved labeling and separateness, I just want what's best for both of my kids.

I am wrestling with the decision to accept AAP level IV placement at the expense of racial and ethnic diversity and exposure to a perhaps broader peer group, which I think is very important.

As with so many things in public education, it's all different based on the teacher, and there are great teachers at every level, just as there are terrible teachers at every level. Add this to the fact that the teacher who might be great for 90% of students doesn't do it for your kid. There's no one right path.

Unfortunately, narcissistic is a great word to describe parents who insist that one "peer group" is markedly different (or 'better') than the other. It's nice to know not all AAP parents feel this way, but too many of them do, as evidenced by the many posts to that effect here on DCUM.

Don't need to silo them. Some kids are AAP in some classes and Gen ed in others, some are special ed and gen ed, some are AAP and special ed.
