[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If only that was the case. The young scholars program will remain only for low-income, minority, and sorta AAP'ish level children. Very few (if any, as I think about it now) of the kids selected for the young scholars program were in my DC's advanced academic pull outs. So, it's a mystery how they identified them and why they were deemed young scholar material, but not level - II worthy. And, the school invests some significant summer resources to the young scholars summer program. It's frustrating to say the least. [/quote]

So young scholars is not as rigorous as AAP Level II?

Does the program compliment AAP?

For some reason, I thought young scholars was to help kids get into AAP.[/quote]

Not in my experience is Young Scholars at all a gateway of sorts to AAP. There is a notation on the AAP application if the applicant was in the Young Scholars program and the AAP teacher runs the Young Scholars program at my DC's school, but it does not mirror what DC is learning in class. Young Scholars at DC's school is used to help low income and/or minority children potentially get into the AAP program or be exposed to some of the AAP concepts of higher level thinking. The common thread in DC's Young Scholars program is definitely geared towards low-resourced children (read: free or reduced price lunch eligible kids). [/quote]
