[quote=Anonymous]My second child unfortunately didn’t get into AAP during elementary. We suffered though years of dumbing down the curriculum and major behavior issues in the classes. My child literally had hardly any homework and didn’t learn study skills. I told myself just wait until middle school when your child can take all honors. My child was actually afraid to take all honors because the expectations for them had been set so low over the years by the gen ed teachers. My child was one of the high achievers in gen ed that basically got ignored. Some of their assignments weren’t even looked at and they certainly weren’t given meaningful feedback on anything. Mostly I was teaching at home as a result. Fast forward to middle school - I mandated all honors and it’s going really well. Most of the losers are weeded out and the behavior is like night and day. No chair throwers, no ridiculously stupid kids, and no behavior issues so far. So I say to all those who didn’t make it in AAP - just hold on until middle school. There is light at the end of the tunnel![/quote]
