[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been enjoying reading this thread and learning from all the other parents who have experience.  I'm sure every parent posting wants the best for his/her child, but this thread makes me wonder what's so bad about a child (your child) being in a regular school (non-AA)?  I'm dismayed by the intensity of some parents in push, push, pushing to get their child into the AA program.  I just don't get it.  If my child is in the pool, great!  If my child isn't, it's still just fine b/c I know she's doing well for the regular school.  I don't need her to be in something if she doesn't test into it based on whatever standards the school sets.   I can't imagine paying hundreds of dollars to test my child and pushing to get her into the AA program.  In my view, a child can actually have a successful life and learning experience in a regular Ffx Cty school.

I congratulate those whose children are in the pool and/or who recieve an invitation; but not being AA is really o.k. too! ;)  [/quote]

ITA.  My kid is right on the cusp - could go either way. I'd rather have her be a solid performer in regular classes than unhappy in GT.  I am going to do my due diligence to help her pass the GT test (parent packet), but if the committee feels she doesn't belong there, so be it.[/quote]
