[quote=Anonymous]I'll be totally honest--we accepted the AAP placement for the social aspect. Our kid wasn't bored, wasn't complaining about not being challenged, and frankly, we were a little shocked he got in (he made the pool and the program with no prep or intervention). But he was drowning in the social dynamic of his regular class. He hates sports, is pretty artistic, and loves to read and write. He hated school because he felt completely out of place. We thought he had a better shot at making friends and finding kids with similar interests in AAP so we enrolled him. Academically, it's not been a great fit and we've had to have tutors and work a lot with him to keep his head above water with the accelerated math curriculum. But he comes home every day talking about his buddies and the stuff they do on the playground. He goes on play dates and to parties. He is happy at school for the first time since he started kindergarten. And at his age, that's what's important to me.[/quote]
