[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. DCUM: AAP is segregation of rich and poor. AAP is not the path to equity so should be abolished.

2. Also DCUM: AAP is no different than gen ed. Your snowflake will be just fine in gen ed.

3. DCUM again: AAP is a refuge from disruptive kids and remedial schooling.

Which is it? [/quote]

1 and 3 are both true.

No one says 2.

Eh, I think 2 is pretty true other than math. GenEd kids can take all
Honors in 7th . Almost none of my kids’ all-honors MS peers were aap kids, yet they’re all thriving. Honors classes aren’t exclusively for gifted students. And while I think aap standards have likely been watered down over the years, I can’t imagine that the intent was to block capable genEd kids from taking advanced classes when it starts to really count. Point being, I don’t think getting into AAP for ES is that critical unless your child is truly exceptional and truly needs a diff experience. The kids that are generally motivated and bright
(Not gifted) will all end up at the same exact place in 7th grade. [/quote]

“Honors” math in gen Ed isn’t very advanced.  [/quote]

Which is why I clearly acknowledged this in my opening sentence. I love that parents of “gifted” kids on this forum seize every single opportunity to be rude and dismissive to others… just waiting for the moment to show how your kid - and you - are superior. I think what you meant to type was “please don’t think your non aap kid is smart because they take math 7th honors”.  Believe me, I get that you need to take algebra I in 7th to be as special as your kid. [/quote]
