[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You guys got it all wrong.  The real issue is identifying gifted second graders.  Some kids that are gifted do not test well...and some kids that are gifted are extremely introverted and do not show there ability, but test well.

To me, the real issue should be will the kid be able to keep up with the workload, and will they take away from the other kids. It is not like AAP costs more -- the student to teacher ratios are the same.[/quote]

I think when they admit high test scores and/or high GBRS - they are giving the program the best chance for what you are saying - kids who can keep up with the workload.  Admitted the 'just miss the cutoff kids' lowers the overall test scores and GBRS of the admitted pool and would slow down the program for the rest of the children.  There has to be a cutoff somwhere and someone always has to be the bubble.

to pp:  the wisc measures iq and that is not really supposed to change over time.  the only 3rd grader i know who was accepted this year was already receiving level iii services and blowing the rest of the kids away.  seems tough to get in after 2nd.[/quote]
