[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question. What is the point for elementary and middle when anyone can take AP in high school? It also seems like unless you have a goal for TJ, there really is no actual purpose earlier on... My child got accepted and will be starting this year but I am still boggled on whether it’s actually worth something so early on. Would love feedback on what you feel your child gained from the program overall...Or if they gained anything at all? [/quote]

Since they could provide this curriculum at home schools through grouping, it's clear the point is to provide a way to segregate children based on faux merit aka privilege.[/quote]

There's nothing faux about an IQ test, my friend[/quote]

And there is no reason that a kid with an above average IQ (AAP is not an actual gifted program and hasn't been for a long time) needs a more advanced curriculum. [/quote]

I posted about IQ, and I totally agree with you. The program should be made much smaller and should only be for those with top 5% IQ scores. I'd say top 1% but then there wouldn't be enough kids to fill classes even at centers[/quote]
