[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The question isn't whether some kids who don't have AAP can succeed in HS. [b]The question is whether many more kids would have greater success in HS if they had been given the AAP curriculum. [/b] All these anecdotes of "I know a kid who wasn't in AAP and ended up in Harvard..." are beside the point. I, too, know a child who didn't get into AAP and then went to TJHS and Cornell. The question is how many more kids would succeed in AP classes or SATs or whatever IF they had been given AAP access. We have some data on that with the math classes -- they DO show that kids exposed to adv. math lessons achieve more than kids who aren't exposed to adv. math and that continues through HS. We simply don't have the data on other subjects. Anecdotes are not dispositive.[/quote] Or, how successful would current AAP students be in HS if they did not have AAP. [/quote]
