[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can't tell if these negative posters have kids in AAP and bragged about how great they are or if you hope to soon have a child in AAP and are looking forward to bragging.

If you've been all the way through the process you know that it's hard to give your kids a straight answer when some parents push their way into AAP. I ended up telling my kid it was for kids who learn quickly and kids who already read well and know a lot of math. (That's basically what it has become now that they let in such a big percentage.). But this didn't ring true for the boy in my daughter's class who she saw struggle all year in math AND reading and who I happen to know didn't test even close to the cut-off on either test. His parents did cartwheels during the appeals process to get him in. [/quote]

How the heck do you know so much about another child's performance?  How do you know his scores weren't close to cut off and is parents "did cartwheels" to get him in? How do you know if he was struggling?  You sound a little stalkerish. [/quote]
