[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The whole process is crazy!!!   People are going nuts over this, what a shame for us and our children.   Mt DD has been devastated, she is one of those on the cusp.   I do believe in alot of competition, but not sure how I feel about it based on these test scores.   Seems like prepping is the only way to go, if my DD wants a second chance next year.   She is the one who insists on prepping so here we go......[/quote]

Your daughter is devastated?

It sounds like you handled the process completely wrong.  You shouldn't have made such a big deal about getting in prior to the fact, or not getting in after the fact.

The significance of AAP for you should not have even been on her radar.  If a second grader is devastated about not being accepted into AAP then something went very wrong with how everything was presented to her.[/quote]

I completely agree with this. If your child is "devestated" it is because she either feels like she let you down or like she isn't as smart as her friends. She shouldn't know anything about it other than that some kids go to a different school starting in 3rd grade because they learn differently. [/quote]
