[quote=Anonymous] My kids are not at the age for AAP or whatever it is, but I figure if one or both qualifies and wants it great, if they don't qualify, it's NBD. From what I hear there are plenty of bright and academic kids in the non-gifted program classes. I could understand a parent wanting it for small classes or for a peer group who hopefully are more nerdy (I'm a nerd so this is no insult), but class size is no longer smaller right? My older child probably won't qualify if language skills have to be as high as quanititative, but he loves math with a passion and he is advanced due to his own ability and interest-we didn't push him. I figure he will guide me. If he wants extra enrichment, we'll find it for him with Kumon or a math club or something. I don't worry at all about him being bored. We can teach him stuff at home. I don't think he will be stifled if he doesn't qualify for a gifted program. Colleges don't care. Am I missing something? [/quote]
