[quote=Anonymous]I've found that when kids in AAP make fun of those who are not in AAP it almost is always coming from the parents. That is, there are some parents who very aggressively push for their kids to get into AAP and make it known to their kids that they are "stupid" (or otherwise lacking) if they fail to get into AAP. These kids frankly just parrot what their parents are saying to them. If the kids get into AAP, they are the ones calling other kids stupid. If the kids don't get into AAP, they feel bad and insecure about themselves and their abilities. It's a vicious and sad cycle. I don't think there's any problem with doing test prep or trying to put one's kid in the best possible light when it comes to AAP evaluations. I just don't understand parents who obsess about AAP and pass on the same obsession over AAP to their kids. It's not good for your own kids and it's not good for everyone else's kids. [/quote]
