[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Yes, OP, if your child stayed in Gen Ed, she would have been at the top of her class, number 1 in everything. Wouldn't that have been just as detrimental?[/quote] Why would you assume that a middle of the pack kid in AAP would be "at the top of her class, number 1 in everything" in Gen Ed? Plenty of kids get into AAP who didn't even qualify for the top math class in 2nd grade or who aren't reading at an advanced level. Plenty of AAP kids don't score pass advanced in their SOLs, whereas gen ed kids might. Plenty of AAP kids don't qualify for 7th grade algebra, and plenty of gen ed kids do. Maybe some of this anxiety is occurring because AAP kids believe that while they're middle of the pack in their classes, they're at least better than all of the Gen Ed kids. Then they reach high school and learn that they're bright but nothing special.[/quote]
