[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, so, I'm going there.  My DD is a pretty smart kid.  Whether she will get in the "pool" or not, who knows? She's in 2d and just took the COGAT.  But, whether she gets in is neither here nor there.  I'm on the fence as to my feelings about AAP.  What is the benefit?  DD can still take AAP classes in middle and high school w/o elementary AAP.  She could still go to an excellent college. [b]So what's the benefit besides extra homework and stress??[/b]  I"m 100% not being snarky.  I want to know why you think AAP is a benefit (I know there are kids who need the extra challenge but the program seems to include those kids that don't fall in that category - our school is a level 4 center).

Am I wrong to thing that level 2 - 3 services are sufficient for great 3-6 and, if so, why?[/quote]

My kids have not had "extra homework and stress" in AAP. However, they have had more challenging work (particularly in reading/language arts and math) and extra support for organization skills, time management, and other executive function skills than they received at their base school in earlier grades.

You are correct about high school: they will have the option to take AP/IB classes in high school with or without enrolling in AAP. However, [b]my hope is that the executive function skills they have learned and practiced in elementary and middle school (in more challenging AP classes) will be stronger by high school, so they have an opportunity to do better work in these AP/IB classes.[/quote][/b]

Depends completely on the kid, not AAP.  It is a crapshoot.  [/quote]
