[quote=Anonymous][quote]Exactly what do you think would "burn out" an AAP kid? It's not rocket science that they're teaching. It's just the same old word study homework crap they do in gen Ed. I have one kid at an AAP center, and one at our base school, and in all honesty, the gen Ed kid has more homework. [/quote] Gen Ed. kids typically should have more homework since on average it takes more repetitions for them to "get" a topic than a typical "gifted" student. The reason AAP kids often burn out is that many of them are not gifted, so they're not getting the extra homework and as the years progress, the class is moving too quickly for them, hence the tutors and additional hours they often need to keep up with the truly brilliant kids. Not to mention the pressures inherent in AAP culture to be ahead in math and taking advanced courses. [/quote]
