[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. I have two children. I'm of the mindset: do not impede, do not promote. That is why I won't prep. If one child ended up qualifying for AAP I would not prevent them from going, but I can not, in good conscience, do anything to promote it. Separating them, labeling them differently, I think, is pretty terrible for the sibling relationship. It exacerbates a very small difference. They are not that far apart in their abilities. If one of them were a true academic outliner, I might feel differently. I want to give them an equal start. I want them to have experiences in common, especially early educational experiences. What they achieve later in their educational career, I know, will be due to individual strengths and work ethic, but I want them to be offered the same beginning.[/quote]

You realize in many, of not most, cases, families with two siblings have both in AAP?   What do you do if you don’t promote the first kid and they are GE and the second kid is accepted?  Not let them attend? [/quote]
