[quote=Anonymous]I have had teachers bring it up before, but I have never been the one to mention it first.  Kindergarten and first grade teachers brought AAP into the conversation at all the conferences.  We just had the second grade conference and the teacher did not mention THE phrase, but rather talked around it: child is doing pull out enrichment, working on higher learning concepts, going into more depth in assignments, math enrichment as necessary, etc.  Not a breath about AAP, so I did not mention it either.

I would only talk about if it they mention it first, UNLESS your child is already in the pool from the NNAT, and you have doubts as to whether AAP or switching schools will be a good fit for your child.  Then I think it is okay to say something like "My child is in the pool, but we are unsure if the larger classes/school, faster pace, new school, etc is going to be a good place for her..."

Just randomly bringing up AAP without any lead ins from the teacher, and without having NNAT scores in the pool just lend itself to a potentially awkward conversation where either the teacher might clam up, or you might here what you don't want to hear.

Focus on the now, and not the next year.  Scores are not even back yet.[/quote]
