[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AAP 6th grader family. Had to start Mathnasium in December because DD started to fall behind in class.

My DD feels better about her math competency and she feels like she did very well on the SOL and got to the Geometry portion of it.

But then, I showed her all the wise comments here on DCU Mom and now she feels like we failed her as a family by getting math support for her.

Whichever posters said AAP kid should not need tutors or outside enrichment were so right. And now that I think about it, AAP should not require any additional support at all, in any subject ever!  So happy being in the program immediately absolves us parents from any further responsibility whatsoever of helping our kids outside of school anymore! -What a fresh take!

Clearly, some people think the one-size-fits-all approach to education applies to AAP. 🙄[/quote]

Ok, I have a kid who never got advanced math, had to skip 7th grade math (ie will never formally be taught the math your kid is struggling through)to choose honors in middle school and is getting 100% on almost everything in honors.  No tutoring, no outside academics.  Kid finishes all work at school, never see them doing homework. Had to deal with years of bullying, full time students always telling them they aren't that smart, asking what's wrong with them they aren't in aap.  Still thinks it's easy and could do more.  Tell me why your child needed the advanced curriculum more than mine.  Because that is the system we are in.  I absolutely know that my child feels like they were failed by this system!  [/quote]
