Your youngest is in the 6th grade. Let it go and let others have their turn.

To share her experiences and be helpful to others on a topic that comes up annually this time of year?

Having already sparked some discussion seems it was a contribution to the community. Your snarky/troll-y post, not so much. Do better.

The kids I know who were accepted into AAP largely follow the same pattern: Slightly above average, organized people-pleasers who end up with very high GBRS.

Which category your child fits in?

I'll freely admit that my older child is not gifted, but rather is a bright, hardworking, people pleaser with test scores in the mid 120s and a high GBRS. This child only "needs AAP" because all of the other bright, hardworking kids are also in AAP.

Right. Same for us and I saw what child #1 was getting in AAP and wanted it for my second.
