[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good point. To the person who posted before... I am under no delusions that my kid is truly gifted. But I have stuffed folders many times at school and I have a basic familiarity with a good number of the kids in the class and none of them seems gifted. Isnt it something like 1% of people that truly are gifted? Also its called advanced academic program and not Gifted anymore for this reason. I doubt there are truly many kids who aced the cogat and have advanced ireadys in all of the different sections.[/quote]

Wholeheartedly agree with this...  Many of these parents/posters are delusional.  Virginia requires Fairfax County to have a Gifted and Talented program, and Fairfax County claims to satisfy that requirement through AAP, which constitutes ~20% of the student body.  This itself creates a fervor, as most parents will concede their child isn't truly "gifted", but not many will not concede that they're not in the top 20% and deserving of higher education, especially as the general education appears to be watered down to the lowest common denominator.  Shame on FFX County for basically pulling out all of the top performers and making General Education that much worse and thus perpetuating the fervor even more.  For reference, my child is in AAP program, so I'm just an angry person in general, not maligned by the program itself.[/quote]
