[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole AAP thing has been detrimental to my mental health and that of the entire family. My DC scored 140 without prepping, was a good student who loved going to school. Come third grade, we all couldn’t feel but like failure, DC and myself and DH, and he just is not a happy camper even though he gets pulled into LLIV for math and does well there. Anytime I seek for help, we are treated as if not “fit” for AAP for one reason or another, teachers trying to justify this statement. Honestly, he would have behaved differently if he was donned the crown instead of a label. He knows he’s being looked down on by AAP kids when he walks in as a “visitor”. DC gets all 4s in Science and SS with lower effort grade. He showed me his ppts that were better than mine for work. This year we pushed him to prove himself through outside activities and it’s putting a toll on him. I have a younger DC that has good potential to get into AAP (teachers like this one). Imagine the comparison and mental anguish when he gets in for my already-bright but tormented DC.  I secretly wish the other one doesn’t get into AAP for EQUITY sake but I know, in order not to rob him of his opportunity, I will care and refer when his time comes…It’s creating such toxic dynamic for this family for sure!

This sounds like a parent issue. Why are you pushing your child so hard?[/quote]
