[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is just finishing 3rd grade in AAP. All O's in the last report cart.
It's not challenging for her at all, however, there are many kids in her class that are having difficulties. These are usually the children who are good in only some areas, whereas the AAP requires a broad spectrum of abilities.
It takes not as much of a child "being smart" but the program requires lots of self-work, research, and it requires absorbing/memorizing lots of information each and every week,[b] so kids need to devote lots of their after school time that goes well beyond homework.[/b]

Some parents opt out for the following year.
As for parents who talk about it a lot. They are probably proud of their child, but they should be doing the same as non AAP parents if their child is doing great at school.
If I talk about it, is because I am happy that there is an opportunity like this for my child who is just quick thinker, learns easily and herself is being proud to be a part of the program. I would advise any parent to try to get in/appeal if they think that true regular program is not sufficient.

Uh.. disagree.  My kids in AAP don't really have to spend a lot of time beyond homework. 
I don't believe the program is for elem. kids to devote lots of time working at home instead of being kids.
