[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]18:09 has summed it up very nicely.

There are people from other countries who assume that every country is just like their old country. It is difficult for them to understand that things are different here, because the idea of one test deciding the rest of a young person's life is so ingrained in their thinking. They hear about this AAP program and think that it must be the golden ticket to a good life here. They think that AAP must be a "better" program and don't realize that it is just a different program for those who learn in a different way. Prepping to do well on the second grade test will not change the way a child learns, it will simply cause a false result on the test.

And then they get their kids into AAP and complain that it is not so great after all! :)

Do you have a child in AAP?  It is just an accelerated academic program.  It is not, as currently executed by Fairfax County, a program for kids who "learn in a different way."  Maybe that's how it was in the past, but not currently.  It basically is honors elementary.  I think that's why so many people want their kids in AAP because they know their kids can handle it.[/quote]
