[quote=Anonymous]I have 3 kids - the older two boys are in Level IV AAP, and the youngest is a 3rd grader not in AAP. What I realize now in my "old age" is that the youngest will do just as fine as the older two - taking all honors classes in MS - as they did / will do taking AAP classes in MS.

The oldest took Alg 1 in 7th, and my middle one - even though he is AAP, we are going to counsel him out of Alg 1 in 7th even if he qualifies.  It has been fine/good for the oldest (currently taking Alg 2 in 9th grade), but my middle one gets more frustrated if things don't come easily.  My youngest's strength is reading over math anyway - so even if in AAP, I don't think she would be a good candidate for Alg 1 in 7th.  Sometimes she tells me she is bored in class, but I basically tell her - great, then cure cancer in your free time.  (J/k - I tell her she should read, write, draw, or color).  You might hear that your kid is bored if not in AAP but I don't think all learning has to be adult led and that kids should learn what to do if they're bored.  My oldest made up math problems on his own when he was in 2nd grade - before AAP.   [/quote]
