[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, [b]moving up to leadership roles in the classroom and school.[/b] 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...

Spare me.  The kids who went to AAP from my kid's class were by and large not the "leaders".  Being a leader and giftedness don't always go together no matter how much parents want to prove their kids excel in all areas.

BTW, my GT kid was also anything but hyper competitive by nature.  He loves learning and he loves exploring on his own.  Most of the other kids I knew who were obvious center kids in his age group were also not ultra-competitive.  So please don't project from your experience on "many if not most" AAP kids.  [/quote]
