[quote=Anonymous]The article and the father show a fundamental misunderstanding of Jefferson and its purpose. It is a science and tech school and is not an intended destination for the smartest kids in the county (e.g., supposed purpose of the AAP program). The "evidence" cited to show this kids is really smart (self-taught in Latin, skipping grades, high SAT verbal and writing schools, passing the AP literature exam without taking a course, playing tuba at a high level, etc.) do not suggest, in any way, that this kid needed a special science or math education. There is nothing to suggest that the admissions process failed with this kid. What people should take from this story is that there are smart kids throughout the county, and the mere fact that you kid gets into (or does not get into Jefferson) does not mean much with respect to their intelligence.
