[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Moving from the state with failing education system to AAP Center School, the difference my kids experiencing is night and day. I just don’t understand all of the trash talk about this excellent program. My kids also feels sometimes that they are smarter than some of his friends, tell me if this is invalid feeling and they are not supposed to feel that way. He is not in the travel team like his buddy though, but he is totally fine with it.[/quote]

I'm baffled.  We moved from FCPS AAP to a charter school in a different state, and the charter blows AAP out of the water.  It really opened my eyes to how pathetic my kids' AAP center was.  My kids went from rotating through busywork stations including the dreaded Dreambox or Myon stations, being ignored by the teacher, no real grammar/writing/spelling instruction, mildly accelerated math, making 50,000 slide shows, and having science/social studies as an afterthought to a highly knowledge rich curriculum where they are learning grammar& writing, doing full class reading, analysis, and discussion, 1 hour of science instruction every day where they're doing real science and not just reading about science, 1 hour of history every day with rigorous reading and writing assignments, Latin, math that is both faster and deeper than AAP, and so on.

I'm stunned that anyone would find elementary AAP to be an "excellent program."  [/quote]
