[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]17:35:  The main differences: 1) the children seem to have a bit more freedom, 2) they go into things in more detail, and 3) compacted math.

In the AAP classes, there is less "drill and practice", and more exploration and understanding.

We are waiting for the scores and referral, etc for our DC.  She just started at FCPS this year in third grade and is bored to tears with the "drill and practice."  The teachers think she will do better in AAP and so do we, but if it doesn't happen it will be okay.  She spends a lot of time investigating things she wants to know more about and learning on her own - and the only negative at her recent conference was that she often finishes her work early and then pulls out a book to read or reads when she should be doing something else.  This girl needs more work!  A friend of hers is in AAP in the same school because her mom did the whole outside testing and referral last year, and the work sounds exactly like what my girl wishes she were doing, but not so much that she couldn't handle it.  When my daughter's class reads something, the AAP class reads it and writes a paper on it or does a project on it.  So it seems like the same curriculum but more in-depth study and work on the same topic.[/quote]
