[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately, AAP has been so blown out of proportion that parents of younger kids feel there's no way but the AAP highway.  You're absolutely right that this is no big deal.  Your friend has the right perspective, for sure.  Once elementary school is over, no one will care or remember whether your daughter was in AAP.  Trust me, as a mom of very successful older students, one of whom was in AAP and two others who were not:  AAP is not a game-changer in any way.  [/quote]
I disagree 1000% My student was repeating material from K in 1st, K in 2nd, K in 3rd...when they call it base, they are not kidding.[/quote]

[b]The point was that once the kids are in high school, there is no difference between kids who were in AAP and those who were not.[/b]  NONE.[/quote]

sure there is. The AAP kids got  a lot more advanced education. They are ahead by at least a year if not more at that point.[/quote]

The only subject in which the AAP classes are ahead a year would be math, and the advanced math curriculum is available to students in the regular classes as well. The other subjects follow the same curriculum in the AAP and regular classes, it is simply taught differently in the AAP classes.  Some kids will learn better when taught in an AAP classroom, some will learn better in the regular classroom. What matters is that the child is in the learning environment best suited to his or her needs, whether that is the AAP or the regular classroom.
