[quote=Anonymous]I disagree that out side the box thinking based projects can be a waste of time. Lets face it, 90-99% of the kids in AAP can do basic work sheet and memorization school work. Hence how most of them got into AAP to begin with. AAP (well really I guess when it was a true GT program) focused on challenging kids in other ways, hence these projects. It gets the kids thinking, makes them look at things in different ways and teaches them to challenge themselves.

This was the main reason we sent our daughter to AAP. We also have an amazing base school with great teachers. Our daughter has learned more creative ways of thinking and learning from her OM coach this year than her teacher.

For us I know it has to do with the fact that her school moved a base teacher to an AAP slot. Great teacher I agree, but she has been teaching base 3rd grade for 20 years with no AAP experience. I understand why the school had to do this (larger than expected classes and not enough certified teachers) but our daughter is honestly more bored than she was at her base school - larger class size, more discipline problems and no real extra work, etc....

We will be more than likely switching back to our base school next year also. [/quote]
