[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So now you're saying that we should despise people for having high IQ's and only cheer on people who work hard in a subject matter? The issue with the post was that the person was being vindictive.[/quote]

Yes, your children are deplorable.  That's clearly what every prior poster on this thread meant.

Are you angry enough now?  [/quote]

No one is angry. We are just pointing out the obvious that the person who wrote "it's sweet justice" was being vindictive.

And OP many of the students are outperforming the kids who were in AAP. And it's sweet justice.

? That belies a vindictive attitude on your part.

What it really is about is kids finding their own way at a later time. Some kids are ready for more challenge in 2nd grade or 3rd grade. Some need more time to develop and find that they have a lot of motivation and ability in 7th grade or 10th grade. I have one who had the ability and drive from the get-go (preschool or before). I have another who I am still waiting to find her drive in 8th grade. I see other kids who weren't in AAP who are having an academic growth spurt in MS and they are taking the reins and zipping ahead.

Kids don't all grow physically at the same rate. We shouldn't expect that they will all be intellectually growing at the same rate. But, schools should meet those who are ready for challenge with opportunities (be that 2nd grade, 7th grade or 12 grade).
