[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't like waiting, but feel fairly certain my kid won't be accepted, so not exactly dying to know? [b] I hate knowing that his friends will be talking about it in school the next day.[/b]  I haven't figured out how to handle his feelings about this yet.  His siblings are all in the program, and he's just as bright (if not more bright) than they are, but is just different in school.  I hate the whole process, and honestly wish they would do away with it  (and just have school-placed advanced math).  But anyway, it would be nice to have it over with![/quote]

Gosh do the kids really go to school and talk about it?

I would just like to know so that I can start preparing the appeal if needed![/quote]

My older two kids are in the AAP program and I have a current 2nd grader.

When my middle child was in second grade, he did not get in despite having the marks and he absolutely did feel horrible when many of his friends got in and were talking about it and went to AAP orientation. I do not think anyone deliberately tries to make others feel bad, but there absolutely will be hurt feelings. My child eventually got in on appeal.[/quote]
