[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only four kids from our high school who got into Ivies last year were never in elementary and middle school AAP.  It’s all just a big ruse. [/quote]

Similar outcomes at our high school too.  Graduation is always enlightening as we see all of these grossly underestimated kids being accepted to excellent colleges.  [b]AAP is really just a bunch of nonsense.  They could easily make it the regular curriculum for the vast majority of students, while bringing in supports for those who need more help.[/b]  [/quote]

In my experience very few people in AAP think this is somehow their kids' ticket to the Ivies. They just want the curriculum that, as you state, could easily be the regular curriculum for the vast majority of students. I really don't care much about what college my elementary school kid gets into at this point. I just don't want her bored out of her mind in math, which she was before AAP.[/quote]

DP.  Fwiw, 2nd grade can be boring for a lot of kids because teachers are focused on the stragglers, getting them ready for 3rd grade when school gets real (reading to learn).  For everyone, 3rd grade is a big step up. So it's inaccurate to compare the AAP curriculum to the 2nd grade experience.[/quote]
