[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish I had pushed for DS to be in it. His scores were in 120s, but I didn't appeal. Three years later (he's now in 6th), I'm appalled at what he's being taught. His younger DD is in AAP (who very clearly had test scores for it, but IMO, has abilities similar to DS), and her curriculum is so far superior that I feel he's being cheated. Her homework is challenging, she's excited by it, and I'm really seeing her develop. DS never has homework, unless it's something like "find these words in the newspaper" and is completely unchallenged.[/quote] I have one in AAP and one is GE and I agree that GE sucks compared to AAP and many GE kids could handle the AAP curriculum. But isn't the answer to improve GE, not push the "lucky" kids who have parents that have the knowledge, time and inclination to advocate for them into AAP and leave the other bright kids behind in GE?[/quote]
