[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am extremely wary of the process.  There are some kids that absolutely floor me with the fact that they were accepted.  Absolutely. Floor. Me. I would think this whether or not DD was accepted.  She was not, but has high everything, so to speak.  I'm just not sure I am so interested in the program at this point, especially if they are choosing the wrong kids as it seems.  I am sure I am not the only one.  [/quote]

Those "wrong kids" won't get a break when they have to do the work next year.

The question is whether or not your child's needs are going to be met with what is being taught in regular class  OR in AAP.     The committee is made up of human beings who make mistakes.   Feel sorry for the kid that got in that shouldn't really be there....they are going to have a tough time next year.      But that's not your problem.    In the end....what's important is what curriculum is best for your kid.    If they got it wrong in regards to your kid,  PUSH hard to get your child where she needs to be....whether aap, regular classes, private school, etc.     Good Luck!  [/quote]

Sad Mom poster above with one of the "wrong kids."  My "wrong kid" is doing great at the center -- as is one of her friends from the same base school that was another "shocker" for the catty parents.  Sometimes these kids are capable of far more than people know.  I met with the principal at our AAP center last year and she told me that there are a few kids who really can't hack it but most of the kids that get admitted do well, so it sounds like they make a few mistakes but most of their selections work out.[/quote]
