[quote=Anonymous]Both our kids were in AAP in FCPS and while 1 managed to get through HS but was miserable, the other wasn't for various reasons including intelligence and the slow pace. A switch to private this year for a sport where classes are smaller and discussion is the norm has made all the difference. AAP may work for a while but you have to wait until 3rd grade and can't skip ahead. I really wish publics could figure out a way for kids to move at their own pace and not be age/grade segregated. This would allow all to learn at their natural rate. Since this isn't likely to ever happen, the homeschool, online, early college online is likely the best route for some. Our private school kid is super social and would be miserable if homeschooled despite the educational advantages. We homeschooled the first some and even our introvert missed the social interaction of school despite the HS groups etc.[/quote]
