[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It will all shake out in high school. If your kid is truly gifted, AAP in the lower grades won’t matter.[/quote]

This is a strawman argument. We are talking about kids who are academically advanced for their level - most likely as a result of parents who invested lots of time and resources on them from an early age. Some of them might also be gifted. For many of these kids, general ed is a bad fit. AAP is a better fit.[/quote]

If you mean reading to my child and playing games with him, then yes I invested a lot of time and effort into him. He was selected for AAP in second grade. We started math enrichment through AoPS or RSM (we changed programs) in third grade because the math that was taught during virtual learning was, well, easy. He had not complained to us but listening to his class a few times and looking at the work they were doing made it clear that he needed something else if we wanted him to continue to enjoy math as a subject.

I would have no problem with ability based groups at his base school. I know he would be in the higher groups for most subjects but probably not writing but there are issues with those programs as well.
