[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If honors and AAP are the same, we can at least eliminate bussing for middle school AAP centers. That should save something.[/quote]

Honors and AAP at the middle school level are not the same.  See:

This is truly a load of hogwash.  The two programs are identical, they are just being described using slightly different verbiage.  Probably to make AAP parents think their kids are actually getting a special program, just for them.  "AAP" and "Honors" classes are one in the same, and it's actually pretty funny to see how they're trying so hard to describe them differently, but can't.   :roll:[/quote]

The peer groups are (often dramatically) different.[/quote]

I know AAP parents love to believe that their snowflakes are in class only with other snowflakes.  But please.  GE and AAP kids are just not that different.  With the exception of a [i]very few[/i], these kids are virtually indistinguishable.  As a parent of both AAP and GE kids, I've seen it all.  It's embarrassing how some parents of AAP kids firmly believe their children are somehow the elite; and then their kids pick up on that attitude as well.  I cringe when I have to admit that I have a child in AAP as I don't want other parents to think I'm one of "those" obnoxious parents.[/quote]
