[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have one kid in AAP and one kid in Gen Ed.

The biggest difference between them is that my AAP kid is more outgoing and quick to raise his hand.  He is generally more interested in math and science.

My gen ed kid is sweet and caring.  She explains math problems to those who are struggling, but doesn’t often raise her hand.  She is less confident, though the counselor described her as a confident, outgoing girl.

Their scores were:
AAP kid 
NNAT 144
CogAT 135

Gen ed kid
NNAT 129
CogAT 130

So AAP had a significantly higher score on NNAT, but their CogAT scores were similar.  It was the teacher ratings that were remarkably different.  Even in first grade, my AAP kid’s teacher told us that he belonged in AAP.

And no, we don’t refer to them as the AAP and the Gen ed kids at home, of course.  I’m just doing that because of the topic here.

I actually think my gen ed kid may have a brighter future because she has greater emotional intelligence.

OP, about half my son’s AAP class was not “in pool.”  Just try for it.  The only reason I wish my daughter was in AAP is that the kids behave better in that class.  There are a couple of major trouble makers in her class.

Good luck!

OP here. Thank you, this is a very informative and thought-provoking response. Did you ever try to get your daughter into AAP? [/quote]
