[quote=Anonymous]I attended schools in three different states as a kid, only one had a program like AAP. The schools I went to in Massachusetts and California had an hour pull out a few times a week for kids who were ahead. I know Arlington and Alexandria do not have a program like AAP, they have push in and pull out programs. I think AAP is the program that is outside the norm and I think the notion of segregated classes and the entire issue with parents behaving like crazy people to get their kid into the program is why most schools have push in and pull out gifted programs.

I am fine with AAP but I am happy that I am at a school where most of the parents don’t actually care if their kids are in the program or not. We choose to stay at our base school because we like the school and what it offers and the social environment. I know a few parents whose kids were in-pool and not accepted and they were fine with that. No appeals, no reapply. The kids are in Advanced Math and get LIII.

But we are at a school where parents are not worried about TJ. People want their kids to do well in school but there is not a huge focus on enrichment. [/quote]
