[quote=Anonymous]13:32, you raise a good question, and I'd like to share our experience.  We have three children who are in AAP.  DD and DS #1 were extremely bright and "logical" from a very young age; DS #2 was a little slower.  DS #1 and DD both had scores on NNAT/CogAt at 99.9 percentile; DS #2 is a hard worker but had borderline scores; got on on parent appeal and strong GBRS.  Long story short - DS #1 and DD both have struggled in AAP (attention/processing issues) while DS #2 has flourished.  He might not have started out as a sensitive deep thinker, but he has always been able to quickly grasp what is taught to him, he's focused and gets his homework done in one blow, and has generally just had smooth sailing in AAP.  Just like in the working world, the best ideas don't get you very far unless you can execute efficiently.  So I think hard work, focus and determination in many cases are more important traits for academic or professional success than IQ alone.

PS - AAP is still the right placement for DS #1 and DD given their very strong comprehension; it just takes much longer and some amount of drama to get homework done...[/quote]
