[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am currently a homebound teacher with FCPS, and I have to say that we are inundated with requests from students who have anxiety issues or are suicidal from the pressures placed on them over time. AAP centers may be a good fit for some, but not for all.[/quote] But you can't say this is caused by AAP even if there is a correlation. I think more often it is internal pressure from smart kids. There is a positive correlation between giftedness generally (special program or not) and anxiety. My gifted kid and a few others I know started suffering from anxiety around 4 years old. In our case, he was at a play-based preschool so it certainly had nothing to do with any type of pressure. [/quote]
