[quote=Anonymous]I agree with 19:17. When you are in AAP you also socialize with the families of the classroom and you hear lots of feedback, plus kids also talk about their work and they are fully aware of who is not keeping up simply by the grades. I love my child's AAP class and we love the classmates. I have to say that I see much better, positive behavior when the kids have play dates too. The teacher plays a great role in all that; how he spreads the curriculum and how it's executed. Our teacher makes the kids feel like adults. He is flexible, compromising, understanding and allows negotiation in terms of the kids work and behavior, but holds them responsible, and he is very demanding, AAP not only requires the "brains", but also a strong, independent, self-motivated personality. That is why some of the parents are telling me that their child is fit for the program but can not take the overall pressure of it. I feel like some parents like 19:53 are so ambitious for their child to get and if they don't succeed, they hate the AAP families. That is just silly and if you teach your child that all in life should be as you plan, then just get ready for a deep depression. if you spend time with your child, you will see how successful he/she will be.[/quote]
