[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many parents of students at base schools do not realize that removing that gifted level of learner, lends for many opportunities for the next level of learner. The sense of being at the top of the class, moving up to leadership roles in the classroom and school. This builds confidence. Many if not most of the AAP kids are competitive by nature, academically ahead and quick learners, they also made up the majority if not the entire highest level reading/math groups etc. opportunities will be lost for base kids...

I agree wholeheartedly.

My oldest was at center. My very clever second child missed the cut off to apply.

She was initially disappointed when she found out she would not be switching schools too, mainly because she wanted to do a specific activity that our oldest was very involved in that was only offered at the center. This was her disappointment, not ours. We felt the base school would be best for her, especially with some of the highest performers leaving for center.

We were right. As you said, the center pulling out a dozen or so students allows more students to take the lead and rise to the top of the class. This is what happened for our kid. Particularly in math and science.[/quote]
