[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP.  Please don’t fret.  I think there’s this crazy push to get your kids in AAP and part of it is parents wanting their kids to get the best education.  And it’s also bragging rights/fear of their kids being left behind.  I have one in the program and one in gen ed.  Here is the deal: AAP isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be in DCUM.   The things that make a difference: a) having a kid who is actually gifted, b) parents’ SES and educational background, c) teachers.  I can’t speak enough of the later.  We’ve had great teachers and mediocre ones.   Keep encouraging your kids’ interests and learning, supplement when necessary.  
Also if your kid does well in math, he might be eligible for advanced math even if he’s not in AAP.   [/quote]

--- Thanks for the reply. 100% with you.  Especially, on c).  We were blessed for 2 first years.  I have no words sufficient to thank those teachers enough. "Left behind," make it "unfairly left behind" is exactly my fear.  I don't care for bragging rights.  The school vaguely said he will be in L2 and/or L3 this year, but no further specifics yet.  Supposedly, official letter will be sent soon.  Knowing how l2 was fluid and disorganized last year with no communication whatsoever about what's going on, I don't expect much of it.  Yes, we will continue supplementing.

--- to one of PPs above, other support: RSM intake assessment --we are looking forward to September start; third-party teacher view on reading / math level; my own observations in math only; the kid's unusual interest to whatever math you throw at him.

--- thanks all for your views.   [/quote]
