[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does "concentric" mean. Think about it. Don't use the internet, though. If I say the earth's layers are concentric, what does this mean.This is a great question for an in class quiz. This truly separates GT from avg, IMHO. Of course, there is a hint, the root word and the prefix. [b]Even if your child doesn't know that, by simply looking at the picture of the earth's layers, one should be able to define the word. [/b]AAP has become the land of the pushy parents' club. Of course, I add myself into this category. However, mine had a score in the 150s and a 16 on the GBRS.[/quote]

I don't see how this question separates the GT from the average.  The bolded sentence that you stated explains why it doesn't, the non-GT kids are average not mentally disabled.  They are taught since Kindy to look at pictures of stories and try to figure out what the story is about.

The main difference I see b/w AAP classes and gen. ed classes are that the gen. ed. classes are MISSING the critical thinking components that those in AAP classes have.

NO ONE should need to be in special classes to learn critical thinking SKILLS.  [/quote]
