[quote=Anonymous]We are on the flip side of this. I did NOT put my very highly testing 3rd grader into AAP. He is now in 8th grade, taking all advanced classes, happy, and motivated. He clicked with the material and structure of middle school for a variety of reasons, and I think if we pushed him in the rigor of AAP and all that comes with that back in 3rd grade he likely would have shut down completely. He enjoyed the remainder of his ES career, with us knowing that he would be in the exact same classes as his AAP peers in MS, and when he gets to HS he will likely end up REALLY enjoying school. For us it was a very difficult decision, but for this kiddo it turned out really well. You need to take a stab at whichever you think might work, knowing that you have the other option in your back pocket if the one you choose doesn't work out. AAP isn't for everyone - and it wasn't for my son. [/quote]
