[quote=Anonymous]IME, with two children in the same school,  One in AAP and one in Honors is that there is very little difference.   There is more difference between which teacher your child has.  At our DCs' school, the AAP teachers also teach Honors.  One difference I hear touted is that the quality and depth of the classroom discussion is deeper in the AAP classroom-  I have no direct experience since I haven't been in the classrooms - so I can't say whether this is true or not.  I do know that outside of school I see intelligent conversation from both groups of students.

I think it also depends on the school.  We are in McLean and the pool of well prepared advantaged smart students is high.  I think integrating the AAP designated students and the Honors students in MS (like happens in HS) would solve many of the down sides to the current apartheid without creating new problems. "Watering down" is not ineveitable.  However, I do not think that one size fits all in the whole county.  Our county is too big for that, it is not monolithic. [/quote]
