[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had shielded my DD from AAP as much as possible.  We parental referred, told her the WISC was to understand how she learned (which was true; I learned a lot about her from those results).  When the letter arrived, we told her.    She knew about AAP, and WOW, someone thinks I am smart!  I should point out that getting into AAP would be obvious once we brought her to orientation.

...

I asked my DC about AAP yesterday and he still does not know it. None of his friends talk about AAP. I know at least 2 of his friends are going but none of them discussed this topic nor did their parents. The boys just don't seem very into it. I guess they will find out in Sep. [/quote]

I'm with both of you on this one. I wasn't trying to "shield" DS. I just didn't think he needed to know about something that wasn't a done deal. If he got in, fine. If not, fine. One we knew he was in, all we told him was he'd be doing harder math and more projects. He overheard another parent say "advanced academics" when we were talking about the school and asked me what that meant. I said "Harder math and more projects, remember?" There's a bunch of kids going from his base school (no LLIV option), but they all seem to be pretty matter of fact about it. We'll see how soon that changes.[/quote]
