[quote=Anonymous]Tangent: I don't know the answer, but it reminds of a funny story. A long time ago in 8th grade I thought I was too smart to waste time with the State standardized testing...it seemed like we had been doing it every year, and I had had it. So in 8th grade I totally "threw" the test and just marked in random bubbles. I had been in the "gifted program" in middle school. Unbeknownst to anyone, that year for high school they decided who was going to qualify for the high school "gifted" program purely based on those 8th grade state test scores. Whoops. I definitely didn't make the list, and they were pretty generous in inviting a large group of kids, which made it embarassing because it was publicly posted. It was really irrelevant in the end because HS AP/IB is more important than a HS "gifted" program. But the joke was on me. (This is not me advocating for your kids to take the test...just a random aside).[/quote]
