[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent of an AAP 3rd grader who is a behavior problem.

Don't buy into the idea that being in AAP means escaping behavior issues, because my kid and a few of his cronies may be in your kid's class.

Intelligence and behavior have nothing to do with each other.

He is getting advanced math services, currently doing 4th grade work in that subject. The expectations are higher for other subjects and they are now graded accordingly (ie it is harder to get 4s on the report card in AAP, they now note this on the front of kid's report).

Parents of smart kids should all apply, the school district now only goes to bat for the top 10 test-scorers at each individual elementary school. My kid, who had 99th percentile on the COGAT, was NOT in this group, so he would not have been considered if I hadn't taken all action as a parent. His teachers went to bat for him 100%, with top scores from them, and it worked out.

But don't count on the school to do anything for you, especially these days, they are overwhelmed by number of kids applying already.[/quote]

This is reassuring. What were his scores, if I may ask?[/quote]
