I think for some it really does matter in terms of meeting a child at their level and making school a good experience.

My child is only in 1st, so we're not waiting on a letter this year and while I never thought it would matter to me after this school year it matters a lot to me.  My DC is thriving in school, but it's a little bit of a struggle.  DC has always been a little different.  DCs preschool and K teachers recognized this and provided challenging work.  DC tested off the charts in NNAT, but the current teacher does absolutely nothing to provide differentiation in the classroom from what I can tell and was completely shocked at the test results.  The teachers reaction shocked me.  The K teacher warned us to watch DC closely because 1st and 2nd would be a struggle with boredom and behavior issues if DC gets bored.  Well, this is happening in 1st grade.  DC also tells us that they feel different than the other kids and doesn't understand why they don't understand certain things - like division, multiplication, reducing fractions, certain scientific theories/facts etc. The after school program provides some challenge with the older kids playing games with DC.

So, while I don't think AAP is for everyone (our other DC included - the base school curriculum is a good fit) I hope that if it's a better fit for my other DC than the current curriculum.  So, for some it matters based on the needs for their individual child not and not because of status.  [/quote][/quote]
