[quote=Anonymous]My child went through the AAP program and graduated from TJ. Never prepped for CogAT or the TJ test. We could tell the kids who had prepped extensively to get into AAP/TJ. These were the kids who had to work extra hard to keep up, had to have tutors after school and “enrichment” in the summer. The kids who were up till 2 am doing homework. The kids who couldn’t participate in any non-academic extracurriculars because they were afraid of falling behind if they did something just for fun. Kids need lots of different kinds of experiences to become good and mature adults eventually. They do best when they are at the right level in school so they can engage in arts, music, sports, theatre, dance, as well as academics. Pushing them to be in programs above their level actually ends up stunting their growth and development in the long run. [/quote]
