[quote=Anonymous]A lot of AAP parents will say that one the reasons they push for a placement at a center is because you're getting a pseudo-private school within the public school environment. I don't know that the curriculum is that much more advanced, other than math which is a grade ahead for everyone. But the peers are more academically focused and behavior problems are few and far between. Also, the teachers can do things like declare everyone will read 40 books this year and the kids will actually commit to doing it. I would recommend you live in a neighborhood that's part of the center school, as opposed to feeding into a center school from a different neighborhood. The downsides are the divides between the general education kids and the AAP kids, which can be pretty bad at some schools. [/quote]
