[quote=Anonymous]Not my experience. My kid is in 3rd, started at a center this year. He had good friends at base, but base was switching to cluster model, so center seemed like good opportunity.

My limited perception is that class is a lot of nice kids who like to read. But general school experience seems similar to base (I hear mostly about recess, lunch).

I do appreciate that teacher grades harder and provides a lot of feedback. No homework or anything that creates pressure, but it seems like my son is being pushed. Who knows though — could be more of a teacher thing vs. center thing.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Leave AAP?  No, of course not.  Both kids loved it.

Leave the Churchill Road AAP Center?  YES.  I know 2 families who tried it, then fled.

Churchill Road is an overly-competitive, cut-throat environment driven by a core of really arrogant, pushy, nasty parents who have generally supplemented the heck out of their poor kids.

My own two opted NOT to transfer to Churchill, and both are doing extremely well in HS after finishing AAP without Churchill.[/quote]

Is this generally the case with center schools or just some of them? [/quote][/quote]
