I don’t trust they will be on time. Results in April were a week late.

I wonder if by email or mail... I asked by email, but naturally, no one answered to keep the mystery alive. It may be by email, mail, or owl at this point.

I’m hoping it’s by email. Easy and fast. I hope we actually hear this Friday which is their own date.

Anyone else waiting on the appeals decision so that they can decide whether to go private or not?

I am expecting next week. And also, I do believe that an owl will come and blast a zillion of the letters through fireplaces, windows, garages etc. Especially rejections. Lots more letters.

Lots of rejections. Or at least one. I expect no good news but I do wish I knew how I would get this news.

This really seems drastic. AAP is not all that. You should just go private. I guess I could see this if you are zoned for a lower performing school that doesn’t offer Level IV. But our experience at a center school with one in the program and one not has not been that drastically different. AAP had some good teachers and some not great just like GE. I think 5th grade was the best for my AAP
Kid but they other grades were just so so. And now that one is through middle school, I can definitely say AAP did not matter in middle school. The same teachers teach AAP and Honors(we are at an all Honors MS) there just was much difference.

The peer group matters to us in elementary. That’s why we want AAP. In middle school, yes it doesn’t matter. Because by then our kids can choose honors and be in with other smart kids and the losers with behavior problems won’t be in honors.

SO every kid not in AAP is a loser??? What defines a loser to you? Please go tell all the 7 year olds in general Ed that they are losers and to stay away from your apparent winner. 🙄

Uhhh, there are behavioral problems in AAP too. A kid in my DC's 3rd grade class thinks she's a cat half the time, and talks with a fake accident the other half. She's disruptive and has a fulltime aid in the room.

We pulled our DD out of the Level IV classroom because of a mean girl who was highly disruptive to the class and to the social dynamics. It was terrible. There was no way we were going to subject our DD to this set up for all her ES years.
