[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents who stay at the base school are crazy. The Center guarantees your DC will be with other children who were actually screened and qualified to be in the program. In a year or two, no school-based program will be able to do that. Pressure is too great to have principals make class sizes even. They will push in more nonAAP students at the local school and the program will suffer. Some of you act like that won't make a difference, but it always does and will slow the class down. Centers are the way to go. Sorry.[/quote]

This is exactly why I would not send my kid to a Center!  Elitism at it's best at Centers!  Staying at the local neighborhood school so that my kid can see and the ride the bus with all the neighborhood kids is important to us.

Also, if you all think that AAP is the end all be all, please have a reality check.  There are many kids in these classes that have been sos prepped it's disturbing.  I used to be a big proponent of AAP, but no more, it's just a glorified status.  I would put some Gen Ed kids against the AAP kids and test them, I'm willing to be bet the test scores would not be as far apart as some may think!
