[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I've never understood questioning what types of work samples did someone else provide. First, if I say I produced x for my kid, are you going to copy that?  Second, are you going to have your kid actually produce work solely for the submission?  Finally, if you haven't seen your kid produce work that really stands out to you when you saw it, there's nothing really for you to do for the work submissions.  I'm not commenting on whether your kid belongs in aap. I'm only commenting that you probably shouldn't include work samples.  [/quote]

I have seen questions like OP's a few times and responses like this every time.  The thing is, if it is your oldest kid, none of their work is really going to stand out as exceptional because you are talking about 2nd graders.  For example, if my 2nd grader is doing stuff that would be more typical of a 5th grader, I really have no way of knowing that because I am not really familiar with anyone's school work except for my own 2nd grader (and my own Kindergartener).  According to my 2nd grader's teacher, he is a great writer, but I have never been impressed with any of his writing until very recently when I saw some writing samples from classmates of his.  Anyway, OP, talk to your kid's teacher.  Maybe he or she can help you identify some good samples.    [/quote]
