[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Years ago when I heard that a child was in the program I was impressed. Today, not at all. SO MANY kids are in AAP these days that it is really not a big distinction at all. Nothing special at all. In fact, I imagine that the ones that are not in AAP must be pretty low down the ladder if they did not make it into the program.[/quote] Not necessarily true. DC scored 85 on the CogAT and in the 90% on the NNAT, and DC is in gen ed. Scores were much higher for quantitative and nonverbal, lower for verbal. We didn't parent refer. With advanced math in the school (which DC is in), and in a high SES area, we didn't feel DC would need AAP. DC loves his class, and DC really enjoys being a "big fish." The gen ed class seems advanced to us. We have almost no ESOL (only a few diplomat kids), and most kids appear to be at or above grade level. I've volunteered, and I don't see a class full of kids struggling. [/quote]
