[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think those problems likely started last year. At Haycock alone they added 2 new 3rd grade AAP classes this year, for a total of 5 3rd grade AAP classes. That is an abnormally large number of kids.[/quote]

Okay,  so they had an unusually number of kids qualify.     The real question is, how many of those children are doing well in AAP?   How many need to check the thread in this forum about dropping out?     A parent can test prep their kids to no end,  and high five themselves if their kid makes AAP, but if the kid can't handle the work and thinking required in AAP (during the day in class without Mommy or Daddy standing over them "helping") then a parent is doing a terrible disservice to their child.

Finally,  test scores are only a part of the equation in determining whether or not a child gets into AAP.    There is the real determining factor:   THE GBRS.     If the teacher and AART doesn't see AAP level work  and thinking from your child, then all the test prep in the world won't help you.   [/quote]
