[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids at my AAP center are bright, but not as gifted or advanced as the kids in PP’s center.  PP, are you in McLean?   If not, I doubt there are that many kids above 145.  [/quote]

What an ignorant thing to say. You're basing this off zip code? You have no way to tell anyone's IQ unless you see their scores. Pretty sure most people would guess my kids are average at best, not even gifted because we're black and neither DH nor I went to college. We own a business. Both my kids took a WISC because we had to appeal for AAP for both of them (one took WISC-IV and one took WISC-V based on when they took it) and both scored over 150.[/quote]

I agree.

1. You cannot possibly know the IQ score for every child in your DS’s school.

2. Even if you did—these numbers are not as perfect and fixed as you think they are. So judging by a number is stupid.

The pp who keeps bringing up a high FRI and quantitative score is really showing all her cards. Her kid has been accelerated in math. Probably for a long time. At home. So that will cause quantitative scores to be high. Does this kid have a 99.9 VCI? No. Is his FSIQ above 145? No. I get what mom is saying about him being particularly good at math and being an outlier in that regard. It doesn’t matter if he was prepped or not. But he has peers who are smarter than him. It’s delusional to think he doesn’t. Her kid isn’t doing calculus in 3rd grade. He’s been studying math a few grades ahead. AAP brings together many smart kids. [/quote]

Being is two years ahead in math curriculum is pretty standard for AAP crowd, especially with tutoring. Kids who are doing calculus in 3rd grade are the “outliers”. [/quote]
