[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. Every Asian/Indian kid in these TJ feeder middle schools goes to every possible prep class for Math, Science, Writing as well as TJ Prep. Apart from being enrolled in every possible activity - music, art, sports, and what not[/quote]

5th grade is not middle school in FCPS. You really have your finger on the pulse of what’s what.[/quote]
