[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In this town, what is considered gifted? I recently received my kid's academic assessment from two different testing centers, C2 Education and Huntington. He is two grades ahead in math, and almost a full two grades below in reading. Two different evaluations, same results. I bet most of these parents claiming that their DC are gifted are not. They just read or do math at a higher level. [/quote] An academic assessment is very different from an IQ test, which is what would be done to determine giftedness. It tests abstract reasoning, processing speed, problem solving skills and a bunch of other things. [/quote] Are MoCo and FFX gifted programs based on IQ tests or standardized academic tests? My guess is standardized test, and that's why parents can pay to have their children prepped for testing. [/quote]
