Give me a break. The kid's IQ is in the 98.5 percentile. He or she is not out of place in AAP. |

Give me a break. The kid's IQ is in the 98.5 percentile. He or she is not out of place in AAP. In this area being in the top 2% of the population is just not good enough. If you want to be "smart" you have to be top 0.5 %.... there ARE standards that have to be upheld.... we can't just let EVERYONE into AAP ... it would be just like gen. ed. You know how those in the 98th percentile slow down all those kids in the 99+percentile. It's not fair to the really smart kids to let in such slow children. In fact, it's not fair to the lowly 98th percentile children to put them under so much stress when they will never be able to keep up anyway. The insanity about who's really G/T and who's a wanna be never ends. |

If AAP does not mean intelligence, then what does it mean?
Committee uses GBRS + NNAT + CogAT as a proxy for IQ. |

Absolutely! Lake Wobegon-annex here in metro DC thanks to the average IQ in the 125 range. |

I can't tell if you're joking? It's "Advanced Academics" - not above average. FYI. Not that I really give a shit, just wanted to point that out. |

The "Abive Average"poster was not joking but I was joking about the Lake Wobegon-annex reference. "Average" on the test scores = 100 so to tickle the "Above Average" poster's funny bone I skewed the "average" up to 125, as it generally takes scores above 125 to be found AAP Center eligible. |

The parents who are posting snarky comments about us appeal-ees being pushy are missing one very crucial point: we do NOT make the decision whether our children are admitted. All we are doing is going through the hoops to get our appeals package submitted. If we go through the headache of pulling packages together and maybe pay for a WISC, what is it to you? If the appeals committee looks at the scores and -- crucify me for suggesting so -- the work samples, obviously the committee has seen something in our children to determine that they SHOULD be in the program.

HUH? The only reason the committee is looking at little snowflake's scores and work samples is because YOU SUBMITTED THEM. Where are you picking up that the committee "has seen something"? |

PP: what would you suggest? posting the worst samples? Typical samples? or the best? Of course you try to put the best foot forward.
The thing about AAP is that all of the kids are smart. They can all handle the work. The kids tend to work more independently, which mean the borderline appeals kids will not hold back your snowfluke. And it does not cost more to have kids in AAP. |
