[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please tell the basics about how  AAP and why parent's want their kids in it.i am considering moving from MD to Fairfax. Are there issues in the Elementary school circulum that make parents so eager for AAP or  is AAP just that good?

Please give me the basic run down. I have some basic knowledge that kids are tested in 2nd grade, etc. Are the center schools all AAP students? Is it better to have your kid in certain AAP programs vs others?[/quote]

The centers have a mix of Gen Ed and AAP classes but the the classes that are AAP have mostly AAP kids and sometimes some principal placed kids. Some schools offer local level IV services which is AAP.  Check the school to see.

Typically, these are the kids that have a higher aptitude for math but can have behavioral issues. One year my kid had a classmate that destroyed a teachers property and threatened the teacher- and that child had to move away. This year my kid has a very chatty child that is disruptive.

I will say my experience pre Covid for my kids and après Covid have been overall positive but my friends with kids in Gen Ed have not experienced the same thing. Things are normalizing though very quickly.

As for moving from Md to Fairfax: don’t do it for the schools. All schools are dealing with craziness and AAP doesn’t mean you’re going to have less crazy. It’s just different crazy. [/quote]
