[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most parents are really understanding and pleasant to work with. I teach high school and often here “But my child has always been a straight A student.” Please don’t say this. It is not helpful or productive. Focusing on how they earned straight A’s or 4s in middle and elementary school does not help years later when they are struggling in high school. Some parents are so focused on the past that they can’t see and appropriately support their child’s current situation. Honors, AP and/or IB isn’t appropriate for everyone just because they earned straight 4s when they were 10. [/quote] Interesting. Do you ever hear: "but my child was in AAP". just curious.[/quote] Not really. AAP isn’t specifically mentioned but a more general As in advanced math. Northern VA is a transient area so often students have not been here for all of elementary school. AAP isn’t discussed much by high school, at least to me as a teacher or mother. [/quote]
