[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AAP is simply enrichment or extensions of core instruction.[/quote]

Not at my kids AAP Centers. Perhaps this is the case at your AAP Center.[/quote]

Oh, please.  The principal at our center has clearly stated that AAP is the exact same curriculum that all the other kids get, but with more extensions.  By now, all parents are aware of this.  But you go ahead and pretend otherwise; kind of feeds into the whole segregation aspect that so many AAP parents thrive on.[/quote]

It's more than just the curriculum, even though you acknowledge there are differences.  It goes faster and in more depth - which you acknowledge, at least partially.

It's also the way the kids are taught and understood.  In my experience, my DC is given more room to explore areas much more deeply that she is strong in and given some latitude in class time to share her research and projects.  It also provides an opportunity to work with other kids that are like-minded.

Reality is that when you're an adult, you will gravitate towards being friends that are of similar intelligence and have things in common with you or your family.  To deny that is just denying reality.  Why shouldn't these kids get to experience this in the academic portion of their day?  They spend time with a variety of kids throughout the rest of their day.
