A child who doesn't do AAP is still 100% on track to fit-in in HS with kids who went to AAP.... IF that is what the child has the drive to do.  [/quote]

+1  People are acting like "getting stuck in Gen Ed" is a national tragedy.  There are plenty of great teachers and kids in Gen Ed, including my daughter.  I have no doubt she will succeed in life, with or without AAP.      [/quote]

+1.  I have one kid who qualified for Level IV but chose to remain at the base school in gen ed (Level III).  That child is taking advanced math, which is pretty much the same as AAP math, the Level III pull-outs are ongoing science research projects and presentations, which are pretty neat, and that child still has excellent teachers.  As a result of being a big fish in a small pond, my child is on the student council and participates in numerous academic competition teams, since there is much less competition for limited spots on the teams.  I'll admit that the language arts education is much weaker for this child, but we feel that the other advantages compensate for that.

Yes, there are some kids who genuinely need AAP, but those kids are pretty rare.  Most bright, motivated kids will bloom wherever they're planted.  [/quote]
