[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Second graders are too young to know anything about "waiting for the right environment."
AAP is not about "trying your best" or "working hard for a good result." AAP is not a prize given for a good effort. It is simply about providing  suitable classroom teaching for elementary school children. For the kid who needs it, it can make all the difference in the world. [/quote]

Teacher here:  the problem is that most kids don't "need" it.  No one other than parents think they "need" it.  Yes, they may qualify, but they don't need it.

I don't think the current AAP program is set up for those who "need" it.  It just seems like a program for kids who can do well working at a faster pace.   I don't see anything wrong with that, but I think there is misperception, especially on this board, that  there is some special way of teaching in AAP that works better for kids who "need" it.   It's basically a classroom working at a faster pace.  So basically any child who has done really well academically in k-2 would be able to do fine in the current program.  It is not a "gifted" program.  It is more like an elementary school program with all honors classes.[/quote]
