[quote=Anonymous]"Totally unmotivated super smart slacker" describes my son to a T. He started at a 3rd grade Level IV AAP center this year, although I had reservations about whether he belonged there. (He has an IEP and struggled with behavior and motivation in general ed.) So far, we have been very happy with AAP. My son has risen to the challenge and is much better about doing schoolwork. He still grumbles, but will do it. I think the work is more interesting to him so he's more motivated. AAP should not be for merely "good students" who work hard and do what they're told. Some kids have horrible work habits, but brilliant minds. They are utterly bored in general ed, so they act out or tune out. AAP can be wonderful for those kids, like mine.[/quote]
