[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dp here--what about social impacts from academic competition/pressure? Are kids allowed to be kids still?[/quote] I don't think the AAP curriculum is crazy or stressful - they are still 3rd graders or whatever. It depends on whether your own kid for personality reasons does better being a big fish in small pond or not or gets stressed out being around some smarter kids or not.[/quote] It's not too hard academically at all. It used to be much more demanding when it was more selective (~5% of the kids) , but now that 20% of the kids go, it's a little watered down. Still better than gen ed, though, if you want your kid to be focused on academics versus social. And the socially adept kid will thrive in either environment. [/quote]
