[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have two DCs. One got in and has done very well and is at TJ. The other didn't, we opted for rigorous private and DC is hanging in with A-/B+ average there. The top privates don't give a lot of As. At middle school private level, content is less difficult than AAP but much more focused on keen grasp and participation (in a class of 15 kids, you better be on and ready to engage every day).  Point is the AAP people got it right. First DC was good tester, extremely self motivated to learn, and very functional in a large group - mature, leader, etc.  Second DC is also smart but will head to the back row in a large group, does better with prompting to learn, etc.  IMO the AAP people know what they are doing. If your DC didn't make it, there's a small chance of error ... But much more likely than not there's a good reason even if they had one or two good scores. [/quote]

Oh geeze, blah, blah, blah... ... ... ... ... blah...  AAP is not all that.  [b]Maybe they had it right with GT but not with AAP[/b] unless you want to call it the alternative learning center.  OP, be glad and content that your child is in a normal school.  He/she will be fine!  Actually, most likely even better adjusted.  Forget about it and move on.  Do you really want to deal with the pool of crazies or just a couple?[/quote]

Very true.  The drama and resentment started once they expanded GT and started calling it AAP.  GT was known as a gifted program for the very few kids who actually needed a different classroom atmosphere.  AAP is nothing like that.  It's a divisive program and center schools only magnify the problem.  [/quote]
