[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid was exactly  like you described during 1st and 2nd grade . The very reason that his teacher mentioned regarding his AAP rejection . [b]AAP is very intense[/b] and they dont want to waste their time in working on behavior issues of the child .Also adding to it ,now the HOPE has lot do in checking on behavior of the kid .The points such as self aware ,being leader in the group all these are related to behavior.below is the HOPE that you are looking for

Dont loose your hope . Kids tend to change progressively. Keep working on and now they have changes AAP process you can refer your kid until 7th grade .[/quote]

Really?[/quote]

For some kids, yes, it is intense. Kids who are strong in LA and not math struggle with the math. Kids who are strong in math and not LA can struggle with the LA. I suspect most of the kids are fine in AAP but there are kids who struggle because they are not strong in one of the core areas. [/quote]

I would argue those kids probably shouldn’t be in AAP.[/quote]

I would agree. Normally the kids really strong at math but on grade level or slightly ahead in LA end up in the regular class but in Advanced Math. There is no Advanced LA so the really strong in LA kids end up in LIV even though they are more likely to struggle in math. They are the kids who are not likely to have the chance to take Algebra 1 H.[/quote]

I'm confused. I thought there is advanced LA? Isn't that level III with subject specific enrichment?

My DC is advanced in both LA and math but the comment that AAP is intense gives me pause. DC is advanced and doing well and seemed to learn without too much effort (mostly at home with my support) but I don't know if that means they are level IV material. I guess that's what the committee will decide. [/quote]

For kids who are ahead in math and LA it is not that intense. Most of the kids in LIV do just fine, there is a small percentage that struggle with the math or the LA. I think it is more common that the struggle in math. LA is not DS strength and he has an A in MS AAP LA but there have been a few assignments where he has needed to pay attention to the Teachers comments and learn from them, which is what we want. The math acceleration is harder because the Teachers are counting on the kids picking up concepts quickly and not having to spend a lot of time reviewing concepts. [/quote]
