[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It made a difference for my kid. There are faster paced classes, fewer distractions, and socially my child finally found a group of friends where they fit in bc their peers are more quirky, academically-driven students v. the sports-obsessed kids in GenEd. I’m not arguing one is better than the other but in our experience AAP has been a better fit for my child and they finally feel like they fit somewhere. [/quote] Hahahahaha AAP is for children of ambitious parents. In my kids ES that means the kids who are supposedly strong academically (most of whom get extensive tutoring btw) are the same ones whose parents sign them up for sports every season. They’re the overbooked kids and they’re all involved in the same things so it’s very cliquey/mean girl type behavior starting in third grade. This is from the perspective of an LLIV school, not a center. [/quote] I wrote the above that you’re responding to and have a boy at a center. This hasn’t been our experience at all but I appreciate hearing your experience and can see from this and other responses that AAP varies widely across the county and at LLIV v center etc. [/quote]
