So are we expecting emails tomorrow or letters to go out tomorrow?

My guess is that we will likely receive by end of next week. I would be SHOCKED if there were emails tomorrow. I have a feeling it’s letters this time anyways. We didn’t include our email addresses with the application this time, and I understand they have the email address but think they will mail a letter.

But they still have emails on file from application. It would be nice for them to do it but I doubt it.

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.

You sound like a peach.

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.

Wtf is a fake accident?

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. 🙄

That’s not at all what I said.

The Peer group matters and that the losers with behavior problems. Your phrasing implies that those losers with behavior problem who won't be choosing honors classes are all in Gen Ed. So Gen Ed kids are losers with behavior problems. And you want your kid in AAP so they are not around those losers.

Your post lacks an understanding of kids in general. Those loser kids with behavior problems are 6-7 years old when the AAP process begins. Is it possible that they are just kids who are figuring out how to act in school? Or that they are kids with ADHD our Autism or some other explanation for their struggles? Or they are kids whose families are having a rough time for some reason and they are acting out. No, lets just call them losers and try and avoid them.

And some of those kids are going to be in AAP because they are labeled as 2E, twice exceptional. They have an IEP for some reason, that probably explains their behavior issues, and they are bright. They end up in AAP and can act out there. So your bid to get your kid into AAP to avoid "the losers with behavior problems" is likely to fail.

Correct. Losers with behavior problems won’t be choosing honors classes. But not all Gen Ed kids are losers. But there are definitely more losers with behavior problems in gen ed.

And those loser children in Gen Ed will learn to deal with many more types of people in Gen Ed than your weirdo snowflake in AAP who will lack all sorts of social skills, empathy, ability to be inclusive and to deal with diversity.

That’s fine with me! College also weeds out many losers as well. Kids won’t have to deal with kids who don’t step up.

I would like think PP is a troll and not an actual grown ass adult calling children losers. Ignore her.

These days almost half the kids in AAP have some kind of behavioral issue. This is the way things are, and that doesn't make them losers. It blows my mind that people think stuff like this.

AAP acceptance is a scam.
