[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC1 is gifted by Davidson's standards and scored in the upper 140 at the nnat and cogat. He's not in anyway harmed by the high % of AAP kids admitted. I also don't believe that every class should be AAP - he's 2 years ahead in math and it would be unfair to force anyone to do math at that pace if not ready. [/quote]
How is he 2 years ahead in math?  Did he skip a grade in math?  Does your AAP center regroup the kids for math in AAP?  [/quote]

There are some children who are in AAP who are accelerated this way. I have one DC whose strength is math. We moved to public school in his 3rd grade year and after some testing the AAP teacher moved him into the 4th grade AAP math class. He has continued that pattern ever since so is 2 grades ahead.

I think that even in AAP classes they differentiate. The literature circles will have books from a little above grade level to 6th-8th grade reading levels. Kids are then placed in the different groups. Children who excel more in history are provided chances to do extra credit on battles etc.[/quote]
