[quote=Anonymous]It kind of makes sense when you think that they have to change the benchmark for "in pool" up to the 98%-ile b/c they have too many kids scoring at the 97%-ile. In other school systems, 90th percentile gets you into G/T programs. So, why restrict what the public school is offering so that only a tiny percentage of kids can benefit when there are really a lot of kids who are at the top end of the spectrum. I do understand that the profoundly gifted will perhaps get less -- but I think that they are fewer and further between and they can get services outside of the public school system (i.e. universities) or at higher grade levels in the school system. There's no guarantee that this will ever happen -- probably not in the years that my kids will get any benefit, but it seems like PUBLIC school should try to serve the greatest needs of the general student body.[/quote]
