[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course there are differences. The peer group is most different.

Both my kids are in AAP and they do not get mixed with gen Ed kids. It is like a segregated school at their AAP center.[/quote]
I’m an AAP parent and parents like you are so insufferable.   The reality is that except for a small minority, the difference between bright gen ed kids and AAP is minimal.  In middle school, it matters less and in high school, it doesn’t matter at all.  [/quote]

This is the way our AAP center runs.

At our old school, my quiet well behaved child was ignored and given perfect grades while the teacher attended to the other students who needed more attention.

I could care less about the AAP label but I do see a huge difference. I like the academic extracurriculars that are also offered like science Olympiad, chess club, math counts, geography, literature, etc.[/quote]

Are those only offered at AAP centers or are they only offered to AAP students at LLIV schools?[/quote]

They should be offered to ALL kids.[/quote]

They are offered to all kids. They require parent support. Volunteer to organize at your school if you do not have them already. [/quote]

We couldn't even get the kids, parents, and teachers on board for a science fair at the gen ed school. All of these things are parent and teacher led. This is why people like AAP centers. Because there is  cohort of people interested in these activities.[/quote]
