[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD's test scores went from slightly above average to very high in the year and a half we kept her home during Covid when we picked our own curriculum and spent a lot of time helping her, so part of me believes that yes, you can train most kids to qualify for the gifted program with prep.  [/quote]

But that is not a reflection on training. That’s a reflection of the quality of the gifted program. The bar is low enough to serve way more kids than there are truly gifted kids. Actually, the truly gifted kids get the short end of the stick here, because the program s that are used to fulfill their needs actually don’t.

If the school offered additional differentiation and had a gifted program instead of AAP as in Fx co, then you’d see that the ‘bright’ kids would have an actual hard time keeping up with the gifted curriculum. [/quote]

How would you change the differentiation?  I'm PP.  I should have clarified that her CoGAT test scores went up a lot and she ended up in the 99%.  During the 1.5 years of homeschooling, she got a lot of individual attention and we used more rigorous curriculum than what the school was using. [/quote]

Were you using CogAT prep workbooks?
