[quote=Anonymous]My ds goes to a school where roughly 50% of the third graders are in the LLIV AAP classes (two classes out of four). Fortunately the AAP teacher did not "dumb down" the curricula in any way. At the close of the year I have a few observations about the non-center eligible students (i.e. principal designated students) in my child's class. The very bright but not "gifted" had to work a little harder to keep up, and in a few months fared just as well as the "truly gifted" ones. The bright but average child struggled to keep up, some had extra help at home and/or after school, and wound up doing ok at the end. The average to slow child (yes, there were a few whose parents insisted be designated) appeared so lost in class and miserable during lessons. But they were happy to get the "gifted" tag nonetheless.
