[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the 90s, admission to GT was only by WISC. A score of 130+ would get you school-based services and a score of 140+ would get you into the center. The experience was vastly different. The center classes were reserved for the highly gifted and it was a tight cohort. The general Ed classes were still great because only those tippy top kids were removed from their base schools. There were definitely fewer centers. I went to the center at Louise Archer, then on to Longfellow, then back to Madison. [/quote]

This approach was so much saner because as you said, the General Ed classes were still great.  Only those kids who actually need a different learning environment should be offered a place in AAP.  That way it would actually mean something to everyone.

+1. I don't remember how the testing worked but I was in school-based GT (basically just pull-outs) and my sister went to a center school. I remember very few kids leaving for the center. It was all very matter of fact and there was little fuss made about it in either case.[/quote]
