[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The most important thing an advanced or gifted program can do for kids is to help them in dealing with the emotional aspects of being highly intelligent. Highly intelligent kids can benefit from learning how to deal with being different from their peers. They can benefit from learning study techniques: many learn so easily that they truly don't know what studying means. Yes, challenging academics across the board (not just STEM subjects) are important, but helping kids deal with the psychological aspects of being so bright will have long term benefits in all aspects of a child's life. [/quote] You are describing a gifted program. The kids in AAP are, by and large, not gifted. They are not the children who are "different from their peers" and who "learn so easily". Those would be the exceptionally gifted, who are few and far between in AAP.[/quote]
