[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The idea that the selection for "gifted" programming in 2nd grade determines your college path makes me want to cry.[/quote] Agree. The title of this post makes me cry. Whether the OP intended to or not, the title implies that if you are not in AAP when you are 8 YEARS OLD, you may not succeed in some high school classes because some random committee decided you were not smart enough when your were 8 YEARS OLD.  It is bonkers how obsessed parents are with this program. If your child is hard working, determined to not give up and enjoys learning they will succeed in HN and AP classes in HS regardless of their former AAP status.[/quote]
Parents want regular standards of education for their child. [b]AAP is regular standard, not advanced, and gen ed is remedial standard.[/b]  how about putting your child in remedial for entire K12![/quote]
it's common knowledge[/quote]the cray cray is out in full force. Gen Ed is definitely not remedial. And the mention of “K12” makes no sense, it’s 3-6th. Starting in MS, you can choose to take HN and there are some MS that are all honors (no choice) and it’s the same exact curriculum for AAP and Gen. AAP is completely over in 8th grade. You pick whatever classes you want to take in HS. I’ve had multiple kids in both programs. It’s really an ES program that emphasizes higher level math but only in 5th and 6th grade. One of my kids wasn’t in AAP but still is advanced in math. HS is completely what your kid makes of it. [/quote]
