[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is one reason that we as parents try so hard to get our kids into the program -- because it's there, the kids know it's there, and whatever we tell them, some kid on the bus is going to say the smart kids are in AAP.  It's life, part of growing up.  Both my kids are "in" and yet I still feel, deep in my heart, that it's wrong to create this dichotomy in third grade.  They are eight years old, and the majority of them are hearing that they are not smart enough to get in the advanced program.  I do think it's just wrong.[/quote]

If they didn't have it, there would [i][b]still[/b][/i] be a group of smarter kids that everyone knew were smarter than everybody else.....  And when they go to High School, there will be the smarter kids generally getting into TJ, then College where the smartest will get into the Ivies generally, then Jobs and new businesses where the smartest generally will succeed.  IOW, it's a part of life.  My advice is to try to make the best of it [b]without making a big deal about it[/b].  It's more important overall for your child to be happy... [/quote]
