[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But very few kids aren't successful in AAP, because AAP isn't that difficult. [/quote]

I see posts saying this, but I've heard from my DC's teacher that there are children who struggle, with math or all around.  I also see posts here that say that too.

It's pretty dismissive to say that no children are less than successful in AAP.  It's also untrue.  [/quote]

But how or why are those kids struggling, and why were they admitted in the first place?  A PP was suggesting that kids who get in on appeals are the ones less likely to be successful.  I think that's a crock of BS.  I can imagine that kids with high test scores who are unmotivated and won't do the work might struggle in AAP.  I wouldn't be surprised if kids who are admitted to AAP and strong in only one area might struggle in the weak area.  I'm sure some just have social or anxiety issues with a new school.  I doubt any of these issues are correlated with whether a child is in-pool vs. parent-referral vs. in through appeals.  I doubt there's a huge correlation between success in AAP and the GBRS, CogAT scores, or anything else reviewed in the file.  [/quote]
