Then either enrich at home or go to a private school and quit your entitled whining.

Look Projection up in the dictionary, you are the Entitled one thinking that the program should include non gifted kids.

You said that the children had such a sense of entitlement, and you referred to them as rotten apples. So how much do you really enjoy working with them?

No, I'll admit these things, too. Your kid is most definitely not gifted or need this program. That's pretty obvious. So, knowing these things, I'm confident you'll do the right thing and decline the invitation, correct?

Why would she decline the spot. Nearly no kid NEEDS the program.

You have my sympathies -- one would think being an AART would be a great job, but oy vey -- in this area, it's got to be a real headache. The entitlement and hysteria over little Brayden or little Lexie not getting into AAP is going to hit the roof in about 10 days. I really hate those posts where the parent says the child is just distraught over being rejected.... but they will come... mark my word.

You forgot your end quote. I hate it when teachers make spelling and grammatical errors. It happens too frequently.

Are you kidding? AAP is made up of kids like this. It is no longer a GT program.

Never too early to make career changes, you know.

Only boring people get bored.

Very cute, but
but unchallenged = bored.

Don't agree at all.
