Are you still at Mosby Woods? Why is this acceptable - to not offer the LLIII services to the kids that need it? What happens if a kid is smart, really smart, but not in the center? They don't get pushed in like at Louise Archre for the LLIII subject matter?

My DC also has lots of confidence (too much). I have a neighbor who's DD self-confidence got crushed in AAP center. (of course I have another neighbor who sent her DS to crush his self-confidence). AAP track isn't going to get you into or out of honors classes in middle school.
DS is in a center and has a life. His self-confidence did not suffer. I think it depends on the child. For some kids, the faster pace of AAP works better because it keeps them engaged.
