[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question should have been ' how are the kids selected from 5th grade AAP to attend 7th grade math taught in 6th grade class.[/quote]

The half dozen kids in my kids AAP grade are just wickedly smart in math.  Some of them do Kumon type classes; most of them don't.

I think they have been going up a grade since at least 4th grade.  I believe at some point there was some evaluation done to assess where they should be in math, and up they went.

As 6th graders, they go to the local middle school to take math with the AAP 7th graders.

No one blinks an eye.  It is very clear to everyone, kids included, that this group of 6 or 7 kids are heads and shoulders above the rest when it comes to math.[/quote]

A lot of kids in AAP were in private school prior to 3rd grade.  Their parents put them through cram private schools where no time is "wasted" going over class rules for the first month.

Going by your explanation, if there are 5th grade AAP kids taking math with 7th grade AAP kids,  you have to wonder if those 7th grade AAP kids qualify to be in AAP.[/quote]
