[quote=Anonymous]OP, if it makes you feel better, the Mosaic AAP program is terrible, and your kid would likely be a bad fit.  They tend to lower the instructional level to coddle the kids who don't belong in AAP, so things move very, very slowly.  Most projects are just making google slides.  The teachers still had the kids rotate through stations, so they were stuck on bad edu-tainment platforms, or they just talked to their friends all day.  For the entire month leading up to the SOLs, they ran SOL bootcamp and practiced excessively for the tests.  By 5th grade, math is just gen ed math given one year earlier.  There was no meaningful writing or grammar instruction, and the whole program was basically gen ed with somewhat smarter kids.  The kids also got a lot of busy work.

My gifted kid was bored out of his mind there, and he was overwhelmed by the complete chaos caused by stuffing 28 kids into a classroom with teachers who can't manage their classes and with a "rotating through stations" model of instruction.  [/quote]
