[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no point period.

I did gifted and talented 30 years ago in elementary school and there is absolutely no point.

There is no point to accelerate math, there is no point to attend afterschool training classes, there is no point for TJ either.

Accelerating math does more harm than good in many cases.  Most folks aren't actually learning the material properly, additionally 1 class of Calculus in high school is plenty.  Skipping more than one math sequence in college is universally panned.

The workplace does not care about AAP or TJ.

Success in life is based on who you know and your work ethic.  Raw intelligence can make things easier and faster sometimes but that's about it. [/quote]

There's no point in anything, really.  No point in getting a high school diploma, or a job, or anything.  We all die anyway.

Raw intelligence can be helpful, but it can also make it harder for some kids to stay on track.  For some kids, AAP may help them stay on track in the early part of their school career.  [/quote]
