[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Upper mid SES school LLIV here. DS has a classmate who is wealthy, qualified at a Title 1 school, moved in August and got slot in new school where he may well not be in the top 10% anymore.

Is that an issue?

Not for me. If he falls behind in his new school his parents will need to make a choice. AAP is not that big a deal. I know that is sacrilege to most of you but it just isn't. If a child is not keeping up in AAP at one of the high powered centers, I am guessing that the Teachers talk tot he parents and the kid doesn't do well on their report card. The parents can choose to move the kid or not. Or the kid steps up and is able to do the work.

Now we will wait for the really crazy parents to talk about renting an apartment at a Title 1 school in second grade so that their kid can get into AAP more easily because nothing says "Pro educational rigor" then disrupting a kids education to game the system. I actualyl don't think that will happen any more then I think that parents are moving their kids in 8th grade to game getting into TJ. And if it is happening or does happen then that is more a reflection of very different priorities then I think most families have.[/quote]
