[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]This has definitely been our experience with two high schoolers. Taking AAP classes through 8th grade has no bearing on future success in high school. It's a shame parents of younger kids who read DCUM get the impression that AAP is the only thing that matters. It's just a slightly more accelerated program which follows the exact same curriculum as GE, though many AAP parents try to spin it as some sort of magical track without which your child is a lost cause. By 9th grade, no one cares who was or wasn't in AAP. [/quote] Except for the ones who were in AAP and assumed they were smarter than everyone else. Those have a tough time adjusting when they find out that lots of Gened kids are just as smart.[/quote] I have high schoolers and this is absolutely true. Kind of a shocker for the AAP kids when they realize just how ordinary they actually are.[/quote]
