[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IM not going to read 10 pages of this thread, I just wanted to say I agree. How about just going back to a good 'ol G and T program that only has the top 5-10% of truly gifted kids in it? They do need differentiation. AAP is just a glorified segregation system that is easily and unfairly gamed by those with resources and a burning desire to accelerate their kids to get more resources, whether they need them or not. [/quote] 5 to 10% is not truly gifted. It would have to be a much smaller number. By the way, my kids scored 98th% and 99th% percentile on the Cogat and the 98th percentile didn't even get in. So it is not just that the acceptance is very broad, it's that they seem to be looking for a certain kind of learner.[/quote]
