[quote=Anonymous]We chose AAP because our DS was bored and goofing off at our base school. I feared the stereotype of AAP as too much homework and crazy parents, but by the end of last year, we figured we might as well give it a try. It's turned out to be a fabulous environment for DS. Creativity and critical thinking are encouraged; worksheets (other than math, and there's a lot of that) are discouraged. He's a big questioner, and he's finally in a classroom in which questioning is encouraged and the teacher has the time to deal it. I still feel that this environment should be offered to everyone, not just in special schools into which one tests. (I have other children in Gen Ed.) If the county won't provide that, though, you might as well try AAP.[/quote]
