[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The biggest difference is in math. [b]AAP accelerates the math curriculum so that by 5th grade they are one full year ahead - 5th grade AAP teaches the 6th grade math content.[/b] Other subjects, there's not really a difference in the basic content. AAP tends to go a bit deeper into each subject, have more self guided project work, more "application" than just basic memorization. [/quote] Ok, but is there a point/benefit to this approach?[/quote] There is a benefit only if your child finds it beneficial. Mine frequently found herself at loose ends, sitting around reading, doing busy work, "helping" the teacher, and so on, so this is a huge improvement in terms of how much engagement she gets. Even with the DL last year, her teachers were willing to extend themselves and teach material above their curriculum, for the kids that wanted it.[/quote]
