Been through G&T, TJ, Ivy, now with AAP kids and their goody two shoes friends. Close to 20 years of experience with gifted kids.
Gifted kids on average are not hyper. They sit at the computer way too long, they spend hours reading. They are rule followers.
There are some trolls on this board giving out bad information.
Did your kids not make it into aap and now you have a vendetta or something?[/quote]

That said, there are well behaved kids and mischievous kids and disruptive kids in AAP classes, just like in any other class. I would guess that there is less of an issue in AAP due to the number of kids whose parents are spending money on tutoring and enrichment programs to push their kids ahead. The parental involvement is more likely to lead to most kids being better behaved then the norm because the kids know that their parents take academics seriously and do not want to get in trouble at home. This should make it easier for the Teacher to keep the kids who are more active in control.

My experience with AAP is that the genuinely gifted kids are more likely to be disruptive,  be hyper, have ADHD, or have ASD.  But, the overwhelming majority of kids are somewhat advanced, somewhat above average kids who are upper middle class and have very involved parents.  Those kids behave wonderfully for the most part.

I've had kids go through both AAP and gen ed.  The AAP classes have been much better behaved than the regular ones.  The biggest issue in AAP is that so many kids talk out of turn, which is nothing on the disruptive behaviors my other kids have seen in their gen ed classes.  [/quote]
