[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your child will be placed in a program to develop skills as a barista because they just weren't smart enought...so they should be given early training in a vocational skill.

I love this response!  You crack me up :-)

In all seriousness to the OP's question -- both of my kids attend an AAP center but re in Gen Ed classes.  My daughter is bright and her teacher referred her for level III services in 3rd grade.  At this particular school, level III consists of 1 hour a week of being pulled out of regular classes, along with a bunch of others, to work on a special project.  It's interesting, but it's just not very much.  They differentiate in the classroom for certain subjects (math, English), which is helpful.  DD is in 5th grade and is on an all A streak - sometimes I wish we had prepped her for the test or appealed - but only because I wish she were with her good friends and because of the stigma associated with not being in the program when you go to an AAP center - not because she's not challenged.  I've head good things about level III services at other schools though.  There is also accelerated math classes offered at some schools (they used to call it "compacted math" but I think it's "advanced math" now) so that your kid could potentially be at the same level of math leaving 6th grade as the AAP kids.  They don't offer it at our school except to a select couple individuals.  At other schools they have a whole group of gen ed kids who take advanced math every day.  I think some of the services vary by school.   [/quote]
