[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the problem is that AAP is so big that people think if their kid doesnt get in it means their kid looks dumb. [/quote] AAP is so big that even the kids who don't get in feel like they must not be smart, and the kids who get in feel like the gen ed kids are dumb. I fully understand why parents of smart kids would worry about their kids not landing in the top 20%. I also understand why parents freak out if their kids are gifted or very smart in one area, but are not well rounded enough to get in. Gen ed kids who are very smart or advanced in language arts will mostly be stuck doing things on the computer or independently reading, rather than receiving attention from the teacher. Gen ed kids who are very smart or advanced in math have no guarantees at all that advanced math will be available to them. [/quote]
