[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep. If you are at a center school in a wealthier area, MUCH harder than local schools. Kids with much lower scores get in. I’m in one of the schools where parents basically prep kids since Kg. Center school in high income area. [/quote]

I cant believe there are kids whose parents prep/tutor them. This does not show natural ability and they should not be able to get in. I know some parents are helping their child with the artifacts and this is a huge equity issue. [/quote]

I agree it's bizarre because the farce all seems to fall apart by middle/ high school.  What is the point of putting academic pressure on a 2nd grader...
Even worse, they are taking resources from kids who are gifted and really would benefit from the environment [/quote]

AAP is not just for gifted kids. My kid is in it. He’s not gifted. He’s very smart and can figure things out. He works really hard as well. Been straight A’s in AAP and is in 8th now. An intelligent kid who works hard will do just fine in AAP. [/quote]

Meanwhile there are kids in general ed who are gifted....[/quote]
