[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does anyone knkw which high school kids are performing circles around the other high school kids?

You all are WAY too involved in your high schoolers lives if you are still taking a tally sheet of class grades at this point.[/quote]

I often wonder about this myself. How do you people know how other kids are doing?

And how do you know who.was in AAP. And who wasn't?

Our base elementary school is a center school.  My DS, who was in Gen Ed at our base school, is now a senior in HS.  At the time, our center school had only one AAP class in his grade.  And it was a small class.  DS was in compacted math and went into the AAP class for math.  Some of the center kids were in class with DS from kindergarten because its their base school as well.   So DS knew all the center kids in his grade.   I knew a lot of the kids and parents because we live in the same neighborhood, I would go on field trips, go to after school activities, attend the class parties, volunteer at the school, etc.

One of the boys who was in the AAP class, and was in school with DS since kindergarten, is in an activity at the HS that DS participates in.  They are friendly and DS has commented to me that "its ironic that he was in AAP and now does not take any honors or IB classes and I was in Gen Ed and I'm a full IB candidate."  Another boy who was in the AAP class has since dropped out of high school.  Its common knowledge among the classmates and they talk about it because he was a "smart kid."

I don't know how all the AAP kids are doing - just a couple of anecdotal cases.
