[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What if the child doesn't prep, and has high scores, and wants a rich learning environment, not to just crank out a bunch of work to prove how advanced s/he is? Then where do they go?[/quote]

AAP is not much work.  It is very creative and project based.[/quote]

I'm PP, and my understanding is this varies considerably from school to school and teacher to teacher. Have friends who found that (creative and project based) not to be the case at all. In fact, one of the kids in gen ed had a richer, more project based experience. With the possible exception of the Latin component & compacted math, there didn't seem to be a big difference in the depth or scope of the work, if a gen ed kid with a good teacher chooses to "go deep."

It was also clear that parents had a heavy hand in their kids' work.  No doubt that's going to bring a rash of responses from people swearing they don't do their kids' work, and I'm sure many do not.  That doesn't mean there aren't others who do. That's what AAP seems to create, even if it's not the intention.[/quote]
