[quote=Anonymous] I was in AAP back when it was called GT. Then I went to TJ. I'm now a successful lawyer ... but you know who else is successful (as a lawyer or in other careers)? Lots of friends who weren't in GT and went to my base high school. While I have known some truly brilliant exceptions, I believe that most of what we call "giftedness" is just parents pushing and tutoring their privileged kids behind the scenes. Grit, determination, humility and social skills are what determine success in adulthood. I don't know what I will do if my kids end up qualifying for AAP, since they're not school age yet. But I do have some serious reservations about the worthiness of the whole program.[/quote]
