[quote=Anonymous]our kid understood already in math that some kids needed more practice and some kids needed more challenge.  he knew that he'd been pulled out in a special reading group starting in K.  so we explained that they were splitting the kids up in different groups and he'd be in a group that would keep up a faster pace.  we said at the same time it didn't mean they were smarter or better or anything like that, just that they learned different.  he volunteered that he'd be less bored waiting for the kids to catch up that hadn't learned some stuff yet that he had.  I think kids generally get that they split kids up based on where they are to challenge and help them properly.

as an aside, parents can be real jerks about it.  I was at 2 kids things in the past week and parents were falling all over themselves to talk about it.  I get it, they are proud, but it's annoying.  my son also said a kid announced he was in AAP to two full classes of kids.  then we talked about how it wasn't something we needed to tell anyone, but he could say he was in the aap class if asked.  he volunteered that he thought that kid was bragging and looked really silly and mean saying what he did.
