[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The elementary AAP program doesn't matter all that much. It's the middle school AAP and the high school that matter more. [/quote]

It sure matters for math.[/quote]

How so? I admit our AAP center is not impressive, other than having maybe a couple of excellent teachers. One of our kids went through it and is in high school now, and one is still at the elementary center. Do some centers have special things happening with math?[/quote]

I suggest you read/skim the Mathematics Curriculum Study -- link to report:

Also, see Instructional Services' response to the study -- link:

Okay, but I don't see anything there that answers my question. I've had two kids in two different AAP centers, and they all do advanced math and transition easily into advanced math in middle and high school. That's why I asked what a PP meant by mentioning a supposed big difference in math instruction between AAP centers at an elementary level. Note that we're only talking about centers themselves, not other level IV set ups, which I could see varying quite a bit more.[/quote]
