[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have twins where one was in AAP and one wasn't.  I was amazed by how much of the curriculum was exactly the same for AAP and non-AAP.  I'd literally see the exact same tests come home while the AAP class talked about how advanced they were compared to the gen ed classes.  But it was a huge self esteem hit for the twin in the non-AAP class.  She started calling herself the "dumb twin" for being in the "dumb class" which she heard from other kids at school.

AAP is even more ridiculous in middle school where the honors classes are exactly the same as the AAP classes, with only the social separation.

My twins are in high school now and they are both taking similar advanced course loads and both getting straight As.

AAP is a terrible system. [/quote]

This was not our experience at our center school with twins.  The AAP class and gen ed class were doing different things, with the AAP class having more in-depth lessons, more critical thinking, and discussions.  The center schools seem to vary in how similar or different the AAP and gen ed classes are.

In HS, the course load can be the same but it's not clear that would be the case for OP's kids.  [/quote]
