[quote=Anonymous]Not PP, but DD is having to think deeper and is developing a deeper understanding of things. She is reading more. She is in a peer group where kids push for success (4th grade). What she learns in HS and her HS experience will be impacted by being in AAP. But that is because of peer groups established now and because of learning habits established now. No because of the course options in HS. Those are the same for all children. As an example, I have never heard my DD say that something is good enough on a project. She focuses on doing the best that she can do. I remember thinking (when I was her age), that I have done enough for an A, so why do anymore. Not sure if this explanation makes sense, but to summarize: AAP and non-AAP students can take the same classes, but I believe AAP better prepares the kids for more intellectual rigor. [/quote]
