[quote=Anonymous]Having been through this once with an older 2E kid — first, AAP is not all that. AoPS for math is so much more rigorous and interesting for math-inclined kids that whatever they do at school becomes almost irrelevant. Second, AAP is not a path to a great college. Kids like my oldest can barely manage a full high school schedule despite years of gifted support. The high-achieving kids with strong executive functioning skills who didn't quite make AAP are still going to end up ahead in high school, college, and most likely, life. My youngest is one of those kids — we barely got her into AAP because we prepped her for the test. She's bright, just not a math whiz like my older child. And she's a 10x better student. The difference is night and day. I don't regret prepping her to get into AAP — she's succeeding and will continue to succeed in the program because she's engaged, self-driven, and wants to win at school.[/quote]
