[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]My DC was in AAP a few years ago - now in high school. I can compare his experience with my other children who are currently in GE, learning exactly the same material AAP child learned, and having a much happier school experience. Had I only known, we would have kept him in GE.[/quote]

Actually, I'm interested in this comment.  PP, can you post more about your kids' AAP vs. GE experiences?  I have heard so many different things that run the gamut from "AAP is great" to "AAP helped my kid find his/her peer group" to "AAP is just a homework program."  Of course there are many different centers, but I'm wondering just how different the experience is. [/quote]

Sure.  I'm the PP and I would classify our son's AAP experience as lots of homework, projects that were pointless and took up far too much time, and an unnecessary division between kids.  Lots of his friends were in GE, so he certainly didn't need a different peer group.  I think he resented being separated from them, in fact.  At the time, we thought we were doing the right thing, but in retrospect, the whole thing seems so silly and pointless.  As I said earlier, my other kids are in GE and learning exactly the same information but having a much better time doing it.  [/quote]
