[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never even told my kid. Kid just assumed it was regular school. [/quote]

I mean, It is regular school… but the divide is real and the kids know and a large part of the problem is the parents . We started by saying nothing and for DC1 it was during covid and virtual school so the chatter at school wasn’t there. Eventually, when they’re in class w other kids whose parents say plenty and the kids repeat, then you have to respond.

DC2 was very aware of the testing and process in 2nd bc a few other kids in class were stressed out and constantly talking about how their parents wanted them in AAP bc they’re so much smarter. They asked us why we weren’t doing practice tests at home like their friends. We told them AAP is NBD and unfortunate that their friends feel so stressed. We told DC2 there are super smart, hardworking friends in base and AAP and it really doesn’t matter which program they’re in bc they’ll learn a lot and work hard wherever they are. We’re at a high SES center school. [/quote]
