[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AAP more aptly should be called Advanced Academic Parents. Academically oriented parents would give their children many enrichment activities outside of classroom from a very early age. Thus the kids end up with earlier reading and earlier math skills than their peers. General Ed would mean they are covering material that they have already covered. Dont know the right solution. Maybe grade skipping is more popular and an easier option, there might be less incentive to go AAP route for these parents.[/quote] I'd more or less agree but phrase it differently: some parents will pace their children's education at a rate they consider comfortable, which may be at odds with gen ed's (unreasonably slow) pacing. As a result, these kids will feel held back by their schools, which creates an unhealthy academic atmosphere. Keep in mind that the "advanced" pacing we talk about here is ordinary pacing in some other countries.[/quote]
