[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, well what you explained may be true and AAP may be a great fit for  your child, I'm actually looking for reasons why NOT being in AAP might be a positive and beneficial option for someone who either didn't quite make the scores or did make the scores but the parents chose not to take it.

We hear over and over and over again how great AAP is and how we should be trying to get our kids out of the 
"terrible" base schools.  I want to hear more reasons why I might not want my child to be in AAP.[/quote]

Okay.  My oldest's AAP center school is huge.  The building is big but the playground is small.  It feels more like a middle school than an elementary school.

My other child's home school is cozy, bright and warm.  You walk into the building and everyone is friendly and smiley, and it just feels like a place where a kid will be nutured and where they will know every student's name.  Everyone in the neighborhood walks to school together.  We just moved to the area, and I have already found a couple people at the home school who I would feel comfortable asking to help me in a pinch, just from waiting around at pick up.  It is truly a neighborhood elementary school, and it just feels right.[/quote]
