[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After having a child go through AAP, (now in 8th grade), there is no amount of money I would have hypothetically paid to get this child into AAP if we were to do it over.  I would have kept him in General Ed. where his siblings are [b]learning exactly the same thing[/b] and are far lessed stressed out about it.

Those who compare AAP to a private school are deluding themselves.  [/quote]

It would have cost zero dollars to move back to Gen Ed at the earliest opportunity.  What made you stay?[/quote]

Why was he stressed then?[/quote]

Because of the amount of homework, busy work, and projects that were assigned.  Our other kids don't have to deal with that nonsense and are learning the same things in a much more relaxed and healthy atmosphere.[/quote]

This is not universal. Our DC, 6th grade, has significantly less homework at her Center-- and almost nothing I would consider busy work. To the point that I asked her why she didn't have more work outside class. She says that they do most projects in class, and that they get a lot more work done during her AAP class than GE. It also looks like her math worksheets, etc are shorter. Love it![/quote]

Our child has been busy every night with loads of homework.  Not loving it.[/quote]

Our 6th grader (attending the AAP Center) has very little homework as most of his work is done at school. He does need to read 45 minutes and take notes to write his book blogpost (done online).[/quote]
