[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]20:38 -- how did she get into AAP with having difficulty in math?  Were you concerned that AAP might be wrong for her b/c of the math troubles?  DD is ahead in other areas but the more trouble we have with her attitude in math, the more I think it may be better for us if her CogAt scores do not make the cut-off.  She is likely to be close to the cut-off (my guess based on NNAT scores).  I have been thinking during these tough times that she wouldn't be able to handle to extra work in AAP (especially math accelleration) and it may be a blessing if the CogAt scores are low.

Were you concerned?[/quote]

She got in because despite being an "average" student, she had high test scores.  I think she just didn't learn the way that the base school taught.  She's more of a visual spatial type.  She does very well at the center because their whole philosophy is different.  Also, she's somewhat organizationally challenged (probably ADHD inattentive type but we're holding off on evaluation because she's doing well).  Her center seems to have methods that work for her type.

Her WISC test scores showed very low working memory and processing speed on comparison to her other scores (which may explain her problems learning math facts), but her GAI was high enough (as was her CogAt).  We were somewhat concerned, but we just had the feeling it was the right place for her -- and it is! [/quote]
