[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The apptitude test is not the sole thing getting a kid into AAP - it's their body of academic work, judgement, reasoning, critical thinking, interest in learning, etc. for their age group.  There are entire threads discussing kids whose scores are in pool but didnt get accepted.  Don't minimize my child's accomplishments.  [b]Should I also shove the class academic acheivement award he's been chosen for every year since kindergarten [/b]to the side and not tell him how proud I am?  This is not about my child being better than another child, I believe all people have strengths and weaknesses but I want my child to know that consistent hard work/effort pays off.  It just may pay off in different ways for different people. [/quote]

Again, some perspective please.  All two years.....[/quote]

3 years,  actually:-).  I get it's only elementary school but if the school creates an assembly around it why shouldn't I be encouraging, supportive and offer congratulatory wishes at home? Pretty sure there are lots of parents making a big deal out of their DC's big game, winning goal, etc. [/quote]
