[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think your DS is a typical boy. My DS is in 3rd now, and he is still the same way.  But he did get into GT program, and after much back/forth, he is going.  I know the program does require a lot of writing, so we are prepared to pull him out if he absolutely hates it.  But it would be a shame to not give it a try.[/quote]

It requires a lot of writing?  Yikes, this comment just gave me a headache.  Getting my son to write is just plain painful.  I guess it will be touch and go for us also.[/quote]

I have a DS in 4th grade AAP and I really don't think the writing requirements are that extensive.  In fact, I think the low writing requirement is one of the weaknesses of the program, but that's just my opinion.  Your DS will be wiggly in Gen Ed or AAP.  You could have an awful year in Gen Ed with a teacher who doesn't work well with kids like that or a good year in AAP with one who does, or vice versa.  It really is more the teacher than the program.  Give it a try and maybe meet with someone at the center and discuss his personality so they can do a better placement.  [/quote]
