And public education’s purpose is to educate the broad masses. You are entitled to a free education. Being more “culturally” obsessed with education does not entitle you to a better free education.

What does the state require for gifted education?

https://www.doe.virginia.gov/instruction/gifted_ed/gifted_regulations.pdf

Let's see, they're required to identify and provide differentiated education for gifted students. What that differation may be is up to local jurisdictions.

If kids are getting gifted scores then they are entitled to a "better" free education.

Different. Not better.

Depends on how you define better.

If it's more classwork and advanced math I guess it's "better" per FCPS.

My definition of better would be something else entirely.

If you believe in science, science tells you that you can’t prep for an IQ test. That’s science. It’s the same science that tells us that we are genetically the same regardless of race. Now if you don’t believe in science, that’s your problem.

The post wasn't about IQ tests. Reading is fundamental...

In your case writing is more than fundamental. I guess because of your subpar skills, that’s how you know White privilege is real.

The thread is about gifted kids. You’re talking about prepping. Giftedness so far is measured with IQ. What prepping are you talking about?

So you really think gifted isn't directly related to all the extras that children receive from their parents?

I believe in science! Do you?

To the PP harping about IQ and science. Then why are high scoring WISC kids rejected?

NP. So if IQ tests are BS, then how do we measure intelligence? Or do you disagree that we *should* ever be measuring it?

Folks here keep talking about the top 2% of IQs. You all realize that’s about 132+, right? Isn’t that roughly the cutoff for AAP?

The hate is that most kids in AAP are not gifted. And There lies the problem.

I'm confused why they claim the tests are biased against black and hispanic students but not asian students.

Black and hispanic culture are more similar to eurocentric cultures both culturally and linguistically than asian cultures.

Good, because allison-whitten is not a scientist! Discover Magazine is not a scientific journal, and this is just a poor summary of a lot of research.

Sheldon Cooper has found us! Smart, but completely lacking in empathy and community support.
