[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can apply even without a CoGAT. Limiting what your child does in their free time in the name of being healthy for one test that is one part of a process to get into a class that close to 20% of the kids are in is an interesting decision. AAP is not that big of a deal. Most of the parents at your kids school are getting on with life and don’t care while you are stopping your kid from camping?

Even if AAP is no big deal for you, can you not recognize it's a big deal for others?  Why are you even here other than trolling? [/quote]

Telling a 7 year old they cannot participate in a fun activity because you are worried about a test for a class that he may or may not be accepted into tells me that a parents priorities are out of whack. A parent can refer if their kid doesn’t score in the top 10% of the CoGat. Most of the kids in AAP are referred and not in-pool.

This is not an exam that provides college credit or can influence scholarship money for college. It is a proxy IQ test for a class that provides limited acceleration for kids. A program that you can apply for from grade 2-7.

The parents are telling a 7 year old that a test is more important then spending time with friends and family. And you think that is a good message to send? [/quote]
