[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain why we even need AAP in middle school? The Honors classes are the EXACT same curriculum. I have two kids a year apart - one was AAP and one took Honors classes. They learned the exact same things.[/quote]

Did your kids go to Franklin? If so, this was not our experience, at least in certain classes. The English and US History teachers used the same curriculum as the Honors classes, but they taught it very differently. My kids (AAP and Honors respectfully) read completely different stories and books in English, used different articles and primary sources in US History, and did wildly different projects in both classes. AAP may have been the same curriculum, because you can't really change the events in US History or the basics tenents of literacy, but the AAP teachers took it to a different level. [/quote]

Was AAP harder than Honors?[/quote]

It seemed more challenging to me, especially because the AAP projects and assessments required significantly more independence,  creativity of thought, and deeper analysis. [/quote]
