[quote=Anonymous][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]

oh no algebra in 7th is just average you need to take it in 6th or earlier to be truly gifted but also be at one of the wealthier schools that offers this type of enrichment[/quote]
