[quote=Anonymous]but what is the upside then of AAP, if any? I have seen older grade AAP kids at our LLIV crying from stress, and our school theoretically has a no homework policy. DC was accepted, breezes through math/science/social studies work, is in top reading group but not light years ahead like one student in class. His current GE teacher is really pushing kids to write and the volume of writing she wants is significant and he stays on top of it, but not sure he needs more. He rarely gets anything wrong on tests in other subjects, however, which indiciates to me he needs/could benefit from a greater challenge. Guess I am wondering at what cost? I have seen the recent FCPS report that noted almost all TJ acceptances were AAP kids, but we won't push him that way if he doesn't want it.[/quote]
