Why does system allow parents to do referral is because parents spend most of time with kids than anyone else. And it is possible that parents might have noticed some traits in their children which others might not have.
But in current system what is happening is all parents are observing that their children aregifted. Can it be really true or is it just that parents want to put their kids in AAP for bragging rights or not be shameful saying their kid is GE or for whatever reasons known to them.
If you notice IQ of all children here start with 130
I never heard/read in this forum with IQs like 110 ,100,107. Though 100 is supposed to be most common.
Actually, average in FCPS is above 100, probably. Using the SAT's as a poxy, the average score in FCPS is about 1 standard deviation above the national average, or probably about 115.
At the reason why you don't see lower IQ's here is because 1) people lie, and 2) AAP kids will not have sub 115 IQ's/.
