[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two children, one in kinder and one in second grade.  My second grader made it to the pool.  I was not expecting it, I was not hoping for it, it was not even on my mind.  He is very bright and has an extraordinary memory, but also has attention deficit.  I was in shock he finished the whole Cogat!!!  Now I'm thinking of the hours of homework that he could have in the AAP.  The hours of frustration because all he wants to do when he gets home is play.  Sigh.  My kindergartner is also very bright like her brother, but she actually likes to do the work, thrives on it, and wants to do more advanced subject matter all the time.  I think she would be perfect for the AAP.  Of course my whole family thinks I'm nuts, and that I have to submit all this supplemental materials in support of my second grader.  But then, they are not the ones banging their heads against the table during homework time while my little one is climbing up a wall.[/quote]

My oldest is in 3rd grade AAP and I wish that I had not chosen it for him. It's just not a good fit for his personality. I think my younger child would do great there.  It all depends on the child. My oldest misses his friends in general ed and grumbles about the work. [/quote]
