[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is what I found:
LJ AAP teachers have this "certificate" for teaching AAP (they don’t call it a certificate but that’s basically what it is). However, most of the Thoreau teachers are working towards getting it, while one out of a few of them might have it. LJ AAP teachers teach AAP every year and are accustomed to it. However, not all the Thoreau AAP teachers teach AAP every year, so they have even less experience teaching it and dealing with AAP kids and their higher levels of thinking. LJ also has more opportunities like more (and more advanced) electives with better teachers for those too. For example, the French teacher at LJ was very kind, energetic, and enthusiastic about teaching. She said that “people think French is the best class in the building!” (Not exact words). However, the French teacher at Thoreau was not as hyped up and seemed less enthusiastic. LJ projects that they displayed seemed advanced with a high level of thinking. However, the projects that students made at Thoreau did not seem to have that same advanced thinking (based on the curriculum nights for both schools). LJ has a more free after school schedule, with late buses Monday through Thursday. If you have after school on Friday, you have to get picked up or walk home after school. However, Thoreau only has late buses on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and on the days there are no late buses, there are no after school activities. LJ has more opportunities for AAP students, especially relating to high school. From LJ, you can go to TJ and other advanced high schools. However, Thoreau mostly feeds into “lower-level” high schools.
I hope this was helpful!

If you are into sports, go to Thoreau. If you are focused on academics, go to LJ.
