[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Peer group was a key factor in my hoping that my DC would get into AAP. She's in a class with kids like herself, and they inspire each other. [/quote]

The peer group was by far the bigest factor for wanting my daugher to be accepted into AAP as well.  She really likes her AAP classmates. Going on trips and school activities with them I can tell that they are all very bright kids. I am sure that the difference will be even be more pronounced once my daughter goes to middle school [b]where bullying and other issues can potentially cause problems and disrupt classrooms.[/quote][/b]

I heard that our ES suspended some upper elementary kids who started a blog that ridiculed some of their classmates. The culprits were mostly AAP kids. My DC who is in AAP has also occasionally been on the receiving end of some pretty nasty comments, from both AAP and non-AAP kids. Kindness, common sense and school smarts aren't necessarily correlated.[/quote]

I'm sorry about your DC.

My DC was at a base school that has Local Level IV where the Local Level IV kids (and not AAP eligible) were nasty bullies in 1st and 2nd grade. So it can also start fairly young and is not necessarily AAP kids.[/quote]
