[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just get over the fact that your kid is intellectually mediocre, and move on with your lives.[/quote]

I was prepared to do that if our kid didn't get in, [b]but so few are[/b].
Know one parent who appealed three times til her kid finally got in.[/quote]

so few are what? not getting in?[/quote]

garbled the sentence :oops: , meant [b]so few are prepared to get over it if their kid doesn't get in.[/b][/quote]

agreed. and I never get this.  my oldest got in easily.  I didn't think twice after my two others weren't in the pool.  Somehow they all managed to be straight A students through middle and most of high school.  I just don't get the madness.    [/quote]

Why are you on a board like this for elementary aged kids when yours are older? [b] odd[/b][/quote]

Not for someone who's BTDT and remains involved with the school system and community.  Is it odd that I care about what's best for all kids and not just my own?  Perhaps on this thread.  [/quote]

Seriously!  And a lot of us have BTDT with older children and still have younger ones in elementary.  So this discussion is very relevant to us, especially as we're the ones who can vouch for how things turn out in high school.  So many of these parents of only younger children have no idea just how unimportant AAP is in the whole scheme of things.  Once high school rolls around, it makes no difference who was in it and who wasn't.  It's pretty sad how much anxiety this program causes.[/quote]
