[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never discussed it with my kid, until there was a disruption in class. He said a kid was rolling on the floor during class and principal had to be called. I said well if you get into AAP there would not be nonsense like this. He's on travel soccer but on the third team, it's really just glorified rec. I analogized that AAP is like the first team, some kids are good at sports and some kids are good at school. It's not that who is smarter. [/quote] The problem is that you're telling your kid that the kids in AAP are "good at school" which in turn implies that the kids not in AAP are not "good at school." There is a huge overlap between the top kids who didn't get admitted to AAP and the bottom 2/3 of the AAP classroom, and you're perpetuating the idea that the top gen ed kids are somehow less than the AAP kids, rather than being completely indistinguishable from the AAP kids.
