[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As the others have said, math doors will not be closed whether a child is in AAP or not. Remember, everything starts over in 9th grade. Anyone can take honors or AP and plenty of kids who were never in AAP are every bit as successful in high school as kids who came up through AAP.  [/quote]

Math doors may not be closed [b]but they are more likely to be opened for a child who is in AAP.

Glad you're not my parent.  1.  you're wrong about math --a smart math kid will get into all the higher math he/she wants. it's not a race, it's about readiness. and I've seen plenty of AAP kids have to retake algebra or geometry in middle school -- so much for their big advantage.

2. Gen. Ed isn't mediocrity in one of the top school systems in the country.  Sounds like your kids can't excel without constant pressure and being put in an advanced group to push them along.  Intelligence doesn't wilt and die as long as kids are challenged or learn to challenge themselves.   I am so sick of posters fanning the" AAP or life fail" flames because of their own insecurity/ignorance.

Please walk, don't run to find a video of Race to Nowhere

Oh, and I had a kid in GT, btw.  DC would have done fine either way.
