[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be honest- if we didn’t have AAP we would move to Loudoun. But the reason why not everyone qualifies is that everyone has different brains. And for a long time, kids that were really good at math were bullied as nerds. Recently, I met a sixth grader who was learning pre-algebra and struggling. My fifth grade AAP DC explained it to her. Three times. Three different ways. She still didn’t get it. Another example- played Monopoly with my five year old DC and a 8 and 6 year old. The 8 and 6 year old could not understand basic addition. We were very patient, but not everyone can do advanced math. They could do it over time. But not as quickly. I know that a lot of people think otherwise, but for a lot of people, math is hard. [/quote] except that skill isn't part of the AAP assessment, it's mostly based on Cogats which is an IQ test designed to be administer more cheaply than an actual IQ test [/quote]
