[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] agree with you except in cases where a bright child learns so quickly and easily that he doesn't ever learn the mechanics of how to study. The AAP provides both a more challenging curriculum so that the child needs to work some to learn, and teachers who know how to guide bright kids to learn how to study.[b] Kids like this used to fall through the cracks and have problems when their coursework became more difficult in late high school or college but being in the AAP helps them to learn the skills they need while they are younger.[/b] I grew up in a place without programs like this and I struggled at one point because I truly did not know how to study because before that time I simply listened in class or read the book and I knew the material. I had to figure out for myself how to actually study for tests, and it is more difficult to change your habits when you are older. I am sure that my own kids have been more successful in high school and college because of the challenging work they encountered in AAP/GT.

Are you serious?  They are so smart they cannot figure out how to study?  Really?[/quote]

Agree.  My son was in AAP/GT, is graduating from HS this year and still will not really study for tests. You're kidding yourself if you think this is something "taught" in AAP.    My second son also prefers not to study and that has served him well for many years -- should he also be in AAP? [/quote]
