[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I started as a school psychologist the kids had to have a Full Scale 140. You can't coach a kid to get that. That was for the Center placement. They lowered the standard and now we have tons of supposedly gifted kids and parents try to squeak their kids in who don't really belong there. One of the worst decisions FCPS has made. I never qualified as a kid in the 1970s because I couldn't get the 140 overall due to relative weakness in spatial/math stuff but very high language based skills. The centers should be for those kids who are really advanced and need much more advanced work. It's a very small percentage, actually.[/quote] Agreed. I'm the PP with the kid whose WISC FSIQ is in the high 130s, and realistically, that kid only needs GT services in one area of extreme strength. A lot of parents in FCPS seem really delusional about just how "special" their children are and what those children need academically. [/quote]
