[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AAP is a better education with less distraction. RSM, etc are so that my kid can keep up in AAP, to be frank. They need tutoring/enrichment because the classes move fast and the math is really hard.[/quote]

If your kid needs RSM to stay on AAP level math and thinks that it is hard, they probably don’t belong in Advanced Math or AAP. If your kid is in 3rd or 4th grade they are probably going to struggle in 5th grade when they jump an entire grade level.

My kid is in Advanced Math, we deferred. His class is a grade level ahead, so 6th grade math in 5th grade. We do RSM because Advanced Math is not engaging enough for him. AAP Math is the same curriculum as Advanced Math so being at the Center would not have changed anything. He is in RSM Honors class and finds that kind of challenging but not really. We are looking at Geometry at RSM in 6th grade because we figure the Pre-Algebra will be the same thing he is doing at school and at least the Geometry sequence will not be something he is working on at school.
