[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our oldest is in high school, was in general ed in grade school. Was labelled average as the teachers fawned over the AAP kids.

Now my HS kid is besting many of the AAP kids in her classes.

In middle school, one AAP got so upset that my kid and another "gen ed" kid from grade school got a better score on a test that the teacher made this kid go sit in the hallway to calm down. As my daughter says, "They aren't as smart as everybody told them they were. It's all a sham."[/quote]

Sorry but neither that *one*AAP kid nor your daughter sound well-adjusted, kind, or like model students.[/quote]

Are they comparing scores on tests? Someone should really be telling them grades are private.[/quote]

That is the student's information, and they can share it as they see fit.  They should not lord a test score or grade over someone else's head or otherwise be an asshole about it, but there is not reason for secrecy, if a kid wants to share and compare.  Just because ONE AAP kid has a freakout doesn't mean the majority of them aren't better adjusted.  And just because she scored better than them on one test doesn't mean the whole program is "a sham".  There is too much variance to generalize all AAP/all gen ed.

If you're going to take the LSAT, make sure to prep first.  They have sections on logic and reasoning.[/quote]

There is no reason to share grades unless it’s bragging and that sounds exactty what your daughter was doing. I guess I’m old school like that.[/quote]
