[quote=Anonymous]14:43 may sound snarky, but has a point. My 8 year old DD has been on a roller coaster since AAP started. Grades are all over the place. She tries hard, but she is not (and I believe many of the kids are not) uniformly gifted in all areas of the curriculum. It can be stressful, and reduces time for exploring her own interests. I see her really blossoming in college or grad school, when abstract thinking is king. (She does not do as well with rote learning.) However - college is 9 years from now! The "person" 14:43 describes may sound like an "underachiever" at first blush. However, that person also seems like they may be savvy, confident and happy with their studies/career path. I find myself wondering if AAP would ever foster those traits in my child.[/quote]
