[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To raise the standard of public school education in the U.S., which is quite desparately needed, and to better prepare students for STEM or any other career path, it seems to me that the AAP curriculum should be the norm, and not an exception to the Gen Ed curriculum. Instead of using the NNAT, CoGat and the myriad alphabet-soup test scores to select students for the AAP, the schools should instead pull out students with low (say 1 standard deviation below the mean) scores for remedial or what's currently considered Gen Ed curriculum. I think most children would thrive well in and actually enjoy a challenging AAP curriculum and learn more in such a system. Frankly, most students feel bored and unchallenged in the current Gen Ed curriculum, and some wander off into other pursuits as a result. The proposed system will save parents (and, implicitly, their children) the tremendous agony and desperation that is evident in posts in the AAP forum, and the über and über testing (WISC, SB, ...) to supersede the scores in the previous tests.[/quote]

I agree.  AAP has long outlived its original purpose.  [/quote]
