[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AAP is just not that advanced.  If kids are actually struggling across the board it's a clear sign the program has gotten too broad.  I wish they would cut back to a truer GT program.  It seems like it would better serve everyone.[/quote]

Speak for yourself. My child is likely not gifted but advanced and bright? Yes. I want them in a class where they can actually learn and not be depressed about the chaos. DC currently does not like school very much because the teachers are "always yelling" and kids misbehave, much of the work is not challenging, environment not conducive to learning..

This is a mid-to-high SES school, fwiw.[/quote]

Is your child currently in an AAP class? Because newsflash - the AAP classes are also loud and annoying with misbehaving kids. My child got screwed because the principal at her school has an AAP class that is in reality 10 AAP kids and 15 principal placed kids, but somehow he decided that 90% of the class should be girls because that's how he wanted to reward the AAP teachers. So all the other classes are heavily male and really awful. This isn't just one grade either, it's every single AAP class 3rd - 6th grade - at least 75% girls. AAP is a joke. I'm insisting that my child take the IOWA test, by the way, because they belong in Algebra with all the other smart girls.[/quote]
