[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If OP really wants an honest answer, I grew up in an AAP type program myself, and I didn't grow up to be an elitist or a person who wanted to be separated from others economically or racially. Largely because it's [b]not AAP that teaches you to think that way -- it's your family that does.[/b] So long as you are one that believes in those values yourself, you'll be able to share them with your children. [/quote] Bingo! Since so many parents view AAP as a prize to be sought or a badge of honor, and then push and prep their kids into the program, it's hardly surprising that these parents would pass elitist views onto their children. IME, the people who have been the snobbiest about AAP were the ones with exceptionally borderline kids who could have just as easily been rejected from the program. They're the ones who seem to think that their 120s Larla is gifted, "needs AAP", and is better than 120s Carla, who got rejected. [/quote]
