[quote=Anonymous]I have 3 kids and all are in AAP.

DC 1 has IQ of 155, is bright beyond bright, a little different - speaks in metaphors - just super intellectual - I feel like I am speaking to a super advanced colleague when in conversation with DC1. AAP was a best fit, hands down.

DC2 has IQ of 134. Very well-rounded child. Extremely smart and kind. Gets along with all children across all abilities. DC2 is very outgoing and very smart.

DC3 has IQ of 119 but GAI of 132. Low processing and Avg Working Memory scores brought down FSIQ. Very smart kid. AAP is a best fit. DC3 has a 504 and AAP teacher is on top of being innovative to help DC stay on track. Disorganization like you have never seen before. AAP is a great fit.

Of my 3, only DC2 would do well in GE class. DC1 would have checked out or would have continued being a teacher's helper, but would not have been pushed or taught new to DC things. 7th grade, current grade, is the first year that DC has been pushed beyond comfort zone. DC3 learns differently, and the AAP teachers are trained to teach to kids in a different way.

I don't think change is necessary. I think opening AAP up to all children is a must. Much like how Honors is open to all in MS and AP in HS. It should be up to the parents where they want their children. [/quote]
