[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ha! Mensa should change. FCPS knows better. Says everything. Here is what I have seen so far in FCPS: No differentiation until third grade AAP. Teaching the bottom 10 kids to meet the SOL test scores all day while making the other 18 kids do busy work. Schools coasting on the scores from kids that are left for their parents to teach. Movie day every other week. But no, FCPS will NOT accept the results of a cognitive abilities test. No. Those reflect skills that can be taught through prepping, like by doing puzzles, or playing with legos, or actively engaging or challenging a child. Those tests might even reveal aptitude in a child that is lost in a crowd of 28. Listen to the “holistic” approach instead. All hail the GBRS!!! If you have a loud mouth jerk, that is language arts aptitude! Consistently observed speaking with confidence! Consistently shows exceptional motivation to succeed!  How about video games and screen time? Consistently observed using technology in advanced applications! Continually disrupts class to draw attention to themselves. Consistently observed displaying a keen sense of humor!!!! Everyone is exceptional and deserves access to resources to meet those needs!!! Except if you score high enough on a non-language based test to get into Mensa, but have been overlooked, and shoved in the corner, by a school system that can’t bother with differentiation in the classroom.  In that case, you are probably a “prepper.”[/quote]

I am guessing that private school is not an option?[/quote]
