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 [i]AAP.

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

It is not a good thing to encourage mediocrity in children who have the capability to do better.

Not sure why anyone thinks that post encourages mediocrity. If anything, it should offer peace of mind that just because an elementary aged child may not be ready or desire AAP, once they reach high school they will have the same opportunities to pursue and achieve success in advanced curriculums. Also not sure why there is a perception that not being in AAP limits math opportunities.  Our DD went through AAP but her elementary school offered compacted math for non AAP kids so they had the same opportunity for the advanced math track. Ours is a high school senior now and her AP classes are filled with successful students some who went through AAP and plenty who didn't. [/quote]
