[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We pulled DS from AAP to Nysmith. His AAP classmates are heavily invested in outside tutoring and prep centers while I do not believe in tutoring to get ahead of the class. As a result his classmates are placed at more advanced math group and he felt bad for himself and asked me if he is stupid despite his really high IQ. I know continuing at AAP will mean that I either need to follow the crowd and look for tutoring for him or I just let him faltered. Smaller class size in Nysmith suits him better and what he is learning is ahead of what he was in AAP. So for us it is a good fit. [/quote]

How strange. [b]My son is going into 5th grade in an AAP class and I don't know any of his friends who go to "tutoring and prep centers"[/b]. [/quote]

Then you my friend are living under a rock. [b]Every[/b] Asian/Indian kid in these TJ feeder middle schools goes to [b]every[/b] possible prep class for Math, Science, Writing as well as TJ Prep. Apart from being enrolled in [i][b]every[/b][/i] possible activity - music, art, sports, and what not[/quote]

Just - wow. You know a lot about every kid, don’t you?[/quote]
