Those with 3rd graders in AAP

[Anonymous]

How much harder is the AAP curriculum and how many hours/night for homework?

Good question. I'd like to know as well.

Very little homework in 3rd grade AAP at our center school.

I don't know if it's any harder or different from gen ed because I have nothing to compare it to. homework ranges from none to 11/2 hours. on average i would say 1/2 hr a night.

depends on the teacher. I have 2 in 3rd aap. 1 has LOTS of HW every night. The other has a little HW every night, but has projects (long term) every month.

Amount HW is dependent on the teacher.

Amazingly, its not per the AAP program, or the school -- its all on the teacher.
Different AAP classes in the same grade at the same center school get wildly different amounts of homework, and project assignments.

I have an AAP and gen ed child one year behind. At our center, the gen ed's tests are about 1/2 - 2/3 the content the AAP kids had. Also, they read much fewer books (which I thought were way too difficult for the AAP kids anyway). Homework load is very similar.
