[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AAP 6th grader family. Had to start Mathnasium in December because DD started to fall behind in class.

My DD feels better about her math competency and she feels like she did very well on the SOL and got to the Geometry portion of it.

But then, I showed her all the wise comments here on DCU Mom and now she feels like we failed her as a family by getting math support for her.

Whichever posters said AAP kid should not need tutors or outside enrichment were so right. And now that I think about it, AAP should not require any additional support at all, in any subject ever!  So happy being in the program immediately absolves us parents from any further responsibility whatsoever of helping our kids outside of school anymore! -What a fresh take!

Clearly, some people think the one-size-fits-all approach to education applies to AAP. 🙄[/quote]
I'm glad she's getting tutoring.  I couldn't care less about which kids are getting tutoring.  Instead, I care about which kids are causing the teacher to water down the class for everyone else.  Your DD is no longer slowing down the rest of the class, so that's great!

I hope you and your DD appreciate, though, that she's fortunate to be in AAP math, and that quite a lot of kids in gen ed would do at least as well if they had been given the opportunity.  [b]IME, even the AAP kids who were getting tutoring or struggling in a subject were still snobby about being in AAP and being better than the gen ed kids[/b].  [/quote]

So true![/quote]

What’s worse than any “snobby AAP kid” is the bitter parent commentary that shows up every time AAP is mentioned. The kids aren’t the problem here — the adults badmouthing them are.[/quote]

Venting on an anonymous online forum iof adults s not the same as snobby aap kids and parents bullying non full time kids in real life [/quote]
What a world we live in where now the nerds are also the bullies!  Or all kids can be mean about any number of things and this one you are complaining about likely never happens.[/quote]

Right, probably only happens to my kids then.
It was so bad that my kid who has all As in honors wasn't sure if they should still take honors next year
And, I'm sure the full time aap kids who are the ones doing the bulling aren't the ones with straight a's[/quote]
