[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question: why would parents want a child (esp who didn’t get into AAP) to get in?

My child was in-pool and got in, which doesn’t surprise me, but frankly I’m not 100% convinced the added stress is worth it (and we wouldn’t even be changing schools) although their teacher suggested she thought they would like the challenge. My child has a lot of interests outside of academics and I’m just not sold![/quote]

There is no added stress. We are at a center school (Churchill) and the gen Ed curriculum is not very different than AAP with the exception of math acceleration. Language arts / science / social studies feels like 90% or more the same. Maybe our experience is different than others. I don’t think the work done is very different but the peer group feels different (my kid was in gen Ed at first) and my kid seems to get along better with the kids in AAP, and there seem to be fewer classroom disruptions.

It depends on the schools. Our center provides extensions and enrichment beyond the standard AAP curriculum in all subject areas. It’s not a pressure cooker environment. My kid enjoys school and doesn’t feel like there’s competition with other classmates.[/quote]
