[quote=Anonymous][quote]For those of you who are so flippant about this subject, I wish you would realize that this is a real issue for some parents with kids that have a very high IQ.  This is not about bragging.  Simply because you think that illustrates how ignorant you are of the realities of kids and parents of kids like this.  Somedays I really wish she was a little more "normal" like her sibling.  Trust me life is a lot more rainbows and unicorns for these kids.

It's not flippancy.  It's a natural reaction to someone wanting a county program to revolve around their child.  If you haven't figured it out yet, this thread is not so much about prepping as about themes of access, expectations and exclusivity.  Prepping is just the scapegoat.  Ever consider how many kids might have gone home crying because your kid didn't want to discuss something of interest to them?  Take a broader view.  Not all gifted kids pop out of a cookie cutter to your liking.  If you are unhappy with AAP it can't possibly be the fault of prepped kids, who you seem to believe make up 90% of the class.  Maybe it's a different school by school, but at ours the AAP kids are still just kids with different personalities, strengths and weaknesses.[/quote]
