[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not OP

I don't understand why ppl have to bash OP if the parent is interested in having the chind go into AAP? It's their choice. Its a competetive world and I don't see any issue even if kids are aware of AAP.
Just because you guys were ignorant, doesn't mean that everyone needs to be.

OP, forget the previous PPs, I would just send an email to the class teacher asking her the details. Go for it. Haters will always bash. You need to think for urself and ur daughter

First, please learn the definition of "ignorant" so that you use it correctly in the future.  How are we, as parents, ignorant?  Second, what should she tell her kid if her kid doesn't get into the program?

Choice 1:  It is for smart kids, and you are not one.

Choice 2:  They looked at a package I prepared on your behalf but you clearly had some deficiencies and they didn't accept you.

Choice 3:  I can't believe they didn't take you!  You're brilliant!  We will appeal and, if need be, apply next year.

I didn't need to worry about any of the choices because my child knew nothing.

Choice 4: it's not the right school for your learning style.[/quote]

After telling the child that it is an application process, some get selected and some don't, we are submitting paperwork on your behalf (which will indicate to the child that we, as your parents, believe you belong in that learning environment), your child will know that it is far more than just not the right school for him/her.  (Additionally, that doesn't address kids who would not change schools because they attend centers.)  Your Choice 4 is PERFECT as an answer for a kid who was kept out of the fray of the process and then happened to come home in the spring asking what AAP is because kids at school were talking about it.  Choice 4 is NOT a good answer for a kid who was in the know, to his emotional damage, throughout the process.[/quote]
