[quote=Anonymous]I was concerned about this too, so here’s a paraphrased version of what I said: The school looked at all the work you’ve been doing and realized your brain works differently and needs different kind of teaching. Some things come really easy for you, and you learn really fast, and some things are hard for you. So they’re going to make sure you have a teacher and a class that helps you learn the best way for you. Of course, kids talk and know what AAP is. I’ve heard them talk about who’s in the smart group or whatever. So I also say something like: This doesn’t mean that you’re smarter than other kids who aren’t in AAP. There’s lots of ways to be smart, and learning fast is just one way. I also tell them I’m proud of all their hard work in school, and I’m glad they’re going to be in a class that fits them. I’m really careful not to say I’m proud they “got into AAP.”[/quote]
