[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]
My kids are in math enrichment. AAP is behind what they get in these programs.[/quote]

Sorry that your kids got the watered down AAP.  [/quote]
Nah AAP math is really not advanced. At all. My kid is at a center in MS. RSM and AoPS are way ahead of FCPS math.  She’s done both. And math isn’t even her strength, she’s a humanities person. Not only is AAP math not advanced, it’s not in depth. It’s one of my pet peeves with AAP math. It’s accelerated but definitely not in depth.  I don’t care about acceleration.  I want my kids to have a solid foundation for later math course work.
