[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for that voice of reason

There is 0 reason for any kid/ family to be doing things at home to accelerate.

If the kid is extremely smart they should just skip a grade.  The obsession of thinking so many kids are bored and need more challenging content is ridiculous

In the real world no one cares when you took algebra.[/quote]

I am not going to ask the school to skip my kid a grade when he is the youngest kid in his class. Social skills and socialization is pretty important. I can more easily meet his academic needs with enrichment then I can deal with his social needs by having him in a higher level grade.

i don’t care when he takes algebra, if I did I would have him skip grades. [/quote]

Guess what your special snowflake is fine without AAP.  The whole program is a sham.  High school is tracked and guess what there will be plenty of Non AAP kids in the top classes.[/quote]

My kid was accepted into AAP and I am just not that worried about where he is now and where he will be in high school. We provide enrichment because we know that what they are doing in school is not challenging him. He isn’t a special snowflake, he is a smart 10 year old who is pretty normal. He likes playing rec sports and math. [/quote]
