[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gen ed is fine. I think many kids in AAP are there because their parents have hired a team of tutors. They are stressed out and overwhelmed and why? Because Mom said my kid is better and should be in AAP. Gifted Ed used to be the 3% who couldn’t be educated in the traditional program. Now it’s anyone whose Mom shoves them through the testing and holds them there with tutoring. It’s ridiculous. Let them be kids a little?[/quote]

I have one in gen ed and one in aap.  In middle school, I was appalled at what my AAP in MS son's friends were up to after school: music tutoring, math tutoring and tj prep.  And I was annoyed that my tutor free AAP son had SO MUCH BUSY WORK.  So then my other child I had do honors in middle school, it was similar to AAP but not as much work.[/quote]

Where have you been in the past five years?  Have you ever heard of places like Sunshine Academy or Best Academy?  They are designed to train kids for TJ since 1st grade. My tiger mom's wife have the kids going to both Sunshine academy and Best academy on weekdays, weekends and summer for math and reading, and piano lessons on weekdays and weekends.

I hate to say this but I am contributing to this rat race as much as anyone.  Being Asians is not easy.  There are "expectations" :-([/quote]
