[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kid with a very high IQ should not interfere with the pursuit of high performance by kids who have never measured their IQ, or even cared about IQ,  but work and prep hard all the way to the top of the academic heap.  This is a land of hard workers.  At least this is what we are taught in American Studies. Our peoples have worked hard on the range, the farm , the classroom, at home, in prep parlors and on the athletic fields.  Do you have a problem with this?[/quote]

I have no problem at all with this.  But, if you don't understand the psychology behind kids/people with very high IQs don't comment like you do.  I don't care about IQ's either, but when you have a chid that is on either the very low or very high side of intelligence, it presents with other challenges.  Parents on this board speak to this issue without knowing what they are talking about.  Sadly AAP is not a gifted program and these kids are left with little or the inappropriate resources.  In addition, the aap program has created this craziness of competition to gain "bragging rights" about kids being in the program.  They should up their game in the ten ed classes and keep the special eds classes just that - special ed for those who truly need different support.[/quote]
