[quote=Anonymous]When my kid was in AAP, basically if kids had a 120 and their parents were pushy, they could get in. It was an insane pressure cooker environment. You had to get selected for things like Science Olympiad and there weren’t enough slots. Kids would prep the material over the summer they they already knew it during the school year. Many, many of the kids were pushed and pushed. There were a few super bright kids who really “needed” it and why they needed was more than AAP gave. The rest could have just used some acceleration. They did nothing that they could not do in Gen Ed with additional resources and more focus like AAP had, except maybe the math acceleration (although my Gen Ed kid seems to enjoy math more than my AAP kid so maybe if she had been accelerated the same way she would be in the same place). I think it is divisive and caused unnecessary pressure and competition in grade school. Waste of resources and unnecessary drama.[/quote]
