[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]12:39 here, and my highly gifted kid's grades/test scores are fine (mostly 4s with one or two 3s last grading period), but she stops listening in class and hasn't been turning in some assignments.  I am having to monitor her homework, which I never have to do with my high achiever's work.  [b]She could benefit from a quieter environment with fewer kids[/b] -- 30 kids in a trailer classroom is far from optimal.[/quote]

That was the reason I pulled my underperforming AAP kid to Nysmith and she is flourishing.  I just asked her last night to compare AAP to Nysmith, this was what she said: "Nysmith is harder but more fun!"  She is solving single variable inequality.  She is not even in the highest math group.  She has a classmate doing Algebra 1 in 5th grade, which really motivates her to work harder as she asked me how can she do Algebra 1 next year.  I am sure some Nysmith kids were AAP rejects, but certainly not all.  The school really works hard to accommodate kids with different ability and yet keeping learning fun.[/quote]
