[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our AAP class is not filled with average kids. They are mostly kids like the teacher is describing.

PP, are you in the AAP class often to see firsthand how average all these AAP kids are at your school?[/quote]

PP here; I have one child in AAP and another in General Ed and yes, I volunteer in their classrooms often.  The students in my DC's AAP class are virtually indistinguishable to those in my other DC's Gen Ed class (only one grade apart), both academically and emotionally/socially.  With the exception of perhaps one or two very unusual children, the rest are just regular kids.  Many of the parents at our center school are just as baffled as I about the AAP selection process.

Juwt because you think your own AAP child is average and are puzzled as to why your child isn't in the regular classes as that is where she really belongs does not mean that all the other AAP classmates are as average as your AAP child.[/quote]

I find this really funny, because I actually do think my child is in the average range and would be just fine in Gen Ed.  When DC started AAP, I thought it would be incredibly challenging and hard for him (not a "she," by the way) to keep up.  I was so wrong; the curriculum is such that most of the kids in Gen Ed would do just fine.  It's certainly not a gifted curriculum, and I imagine those kids who are actually gifted are bored silly.  So thanks for making my point for me!   :D[/quote]
