[quote=Anonymous]They expanded the GT program into AAP thinking they would get more "underserved" students in the program. Didn't really work. Instead it morphed into something that became a status symbol. For years, the GT program was based on an objective test. Then, they added teacher observations, etc. But, the killer is when outside prep schools began in K and the IQ tests were practiced. When I taught those tests were kept under lock and key. The test is supposed to see how kids deal with unfamiliar information. It is not supposed to be an achievement test--but an aptitude test. If the kids have already seen the test, it is not valid. AAP is not working. It just makes parents think their kids are smarter than other kids. [/quote]
