[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a friend who has one child in AP. Their second child did not get in. It is absolutely crushing the family. The second child’s entire core of self-esteem and confidence has been obliterated and now they will be attending a different school than their sibling so it’s rubbed in on a daily basis.  It’s really heartbreaking and makes me reconsider even desiring AAP in case it should it be some thing that only one of my kids got into.[/quote]

Yes.  Even if your kids both attend a center school, if one gets in but the other doesn’t, it’s very painful for the one who doesn’t.  Of course, parents with AAP kids will claim that’s nonsense, and that everyone is just so happy and “right where they belong,” blah blah blah.  Unless you’ve had a child in that situation, you simply don’t know.  Had we known what center schools are really like , we would *never* have moved to neighborhood where the “community” school was a center.  Hindsight is certainly 20/20.[/quote]
