[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When he first got accepted I said it was for kids who did well in and enjoyed school, just like kids who do well in baseball join a travel team, etc. and that everyone has their strengths and weaknesses and it's important to pursue your particular strength.[/quote]

I don't think a DCUM post has ever bothered me more. Did you read the subject of the thread, "If you are one who does NOT want to create a sense of superiority in your AAP accepted child." Do you think non-AAP kids don't do well or enjoy school? What if you have a non-AAP kid who isn't good at sports either? What then? Are they doomed?

My daughter has already heard from the AAP neighborhood kids that they go to a "smart" school. She asked me about it once and I just told her that a test can't determine your success or happiness in life and not to too dwell on labels and people putting you in a box. She just needs to continue working hard and being the best person she can be. I don't think she has given it a second thought--at least she has never brought it up again.[/quote]
