[quote=Anonymous]What many parents and kids don’t realize is that many families view the AAP program as so crucial that they obtain tutoring to get ahead with academics and hire pricey AAP advisors to ensure their kids get in regardless of initial testing scores. It is ridiculous. No wonder there is rampant cheating and use of AI to maintain high grades through HS. It is so ingrained in these “top” kids that they MUST get As in the highest rigor at any cost — and they’ve been taught through all the outside help that they can’t hack it on their own. It’s really a shame — and a sham. I have one kid in AAP and one not. Yes, it changes the peer group a bit, but honors classes in middle school are opt-in, as are APs/honors in HS. My rule follower kid with great exec functioning skills is in AAP. My outside-the-box thinker kid, who cares less about what everyone thinks and who comes up with ideas for new inventions daily, is not in AAP. Draw your own conclusions. [/quote]
