[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are not in AAP. I do think the number of gifted is higher in Fairfax county than other parts of the country. Just look at aptitude percentiles. When you look at FCPS instead of Virginia the percentile goes way down cuz everybody be a smarty pants (Grammatical mistakes intentional). Both as a former teacher and a parent I can say there is a subset in AAP that should not be there. I have known several parents over the years who's kids scored solidly average on aptitude, etc and they either got a copy of the WISC (cheated) and prepped the kid and then appealed or pulled some other bullshit. In each case the kids was miserable (regular crying, unable to learn at the pace of others) and the parent just continued bragging about their genius. Narcissistic parenting is alive and well. [/quote] Thank you for this post. Sometimes I feel like I'm losing my mind with this stuff. [/quote]
