[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't tell my kid she got in.  She came home that day from school upset because all the kids who did were shouting it from the rooftops like they got into Harvard.

I suggest addressing it before school.  Talking about not discussing it with others.  We told her some kids might learn better in other locations in different ways.

I had 2 kids one center one not.  Trust me, elementary parents, AAP kids do not outshine kids in HS.  It won't matter at all.  Go to the best fit.  Honors in MS is the same.

it is a shame FCPS does this to 2nd graders.  My kid had a fine experience in AAP, but she would have been fine at her base school with her sibling.  It shouldn't be a choice you have to make in 2nd grade.[/quote]

Agree with the sentiment, but I just wanted to point out that there are many school systems that do this from K and 1st grade. I think If it were to happen in 3rd or 4th grade it could be even more difficult for kids to process.

Some kids learned letters before K, some can read, some are just starting to learn English. It makes sense to teach those groups separately until it evens out, which it in most cases will. But it's strange to put any sort of labels at this point in my opinion.[/quote]
