[quote=Anonymous]I cannot connect with OP's experience.  The kids in our 2nd grade are not talking about it.  I dropped my 2nd grader off at a birthday party the weekend after the letter came -- no parent was talking about it.  My 2 kids are in it and I did not mention it to them until the orientation.  And, I made it very clear that this was not something to be congratulated upon.  It was just a classroom assignment that would hopefully suit them better.  And, I often make it clear that AAP placement does not make them better than anyone else that everyone has different gifts.

This board brings out those crazy people and then others think that is what the process is.  Not everyone should be in AAP just as not everyone is going to excel at soccer or art or anything else.  My kids need the additional challenge and it is not fair to deny meeting their needs just because some segment of parents get crazy about the process and dump all of that onto their kids.  Leave the kids alone.  [/quote]
