[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Proof? Just look at any HS honors or AP class. Most of the kids were in honors or AAP in MS. Most of the GE classes are a tcontinuance of the same GE students from MS.

This is not only laughable, but absolute B.S.  I've had three kids in high school so far, and one is now in college.  Only one of them was in AAP in elementary and middle school.  This child is probably my least prepared of all and not nearly as serious a student as his siblings.  AAP didn't somehow magically transform him into a stellar student.   :roll:

AAP has ZERO to do with high school course selection or success.  In middle school, kids can self-select all honors classes if they wish.  In high school, they can self-select honors, AP/IB, or regular.  The AP classes my kids have taken are [b]full[/b] of kids who were never in AAP, in addition to those who were.  It's a complete mix of kids, as it should be.  I think some of you are trying to make some sort of (false) correlation between elementary/middle school AAP and AP/IB classes in high school.  They have nothing to do with one another.  And for those of you saying that AAP kids are "better prepared" for the rigors of high school, that too would be B.S.  It's completely dependent on the student and their work ethic, interests, etc.  I can't believe the ridiculous rumors I've read on this forum.[/quote]

People...listen up...here is a person who survived the AAP madness and now has AAP wisdom through actual experience...For those obsessive AAP parents out there...now you have it...all kids are capable of being successful in school...not just AAP kids...and as kids grow...they change and become more than they thought they could be...even if they are in GE...if our kids can grow...maybe there is hope for some of those AAP parents who think the world revolves around their genius and AAP...reality check...it doesn't...your kid is just a kid with a gift...embrace that...your are a lucky parent...relax and take your kid out for ice cream...its going to be a beautiful day...[/quote]
