[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]9:07 PP here. Whether the kids are generally brighter in AAP and whether the program is generally stronger are two completely different issues. My child is not challenged at all by AAP, but is enjoying the extracurricular teams and competitions. That same child could perhaps be challenged at a school like Nysmith, even if the other kids are on average not as bright as in AAP, if a more flexible curriculum and more personal attention were provided. [/quote] Of course - but some were saying nysmith isn’t for aap rejected kids and the answer to THAT question is that lots of families go private when not admitted to aap. [/quote] Nysmith isn't [b]JUST[/b] for app rejected kids. There are kids like mine that chose to leave AAP to go Nysmith because we can afford it and want the smaller class size and more individualized attention, and I loath the outside tutoring culture in our AAP center.[/quote] More power to you but there is a lot of tutoring that can come from $32,000 a year. [/quote] This. Plus loathe has an e at the end. [/quote]
