[quote=Anonymous]Parents need to stay out of it (the testing) and let the school system and teachers do their job!  Planning what route your child can take before they even enter Kindergarten?  
That's not being an informed parent- it's called being an obsessive, controlling parent who needs to have the best for themselves- like bragging rights. 
The problem is most children are NOT truly gifted.  Too many children are in the centers- and they shouldn't be.  I know several in our local center who are there not due to their score meeting the requirement but due to parental persuasion!   Parents manipulate the teachers, talk the talk, plan away and prepare their child for the tests.  
 Children should be scoring all on their own merit and selected on their own merit- not because of anything the parent provide them and most certainly not because the parents wrote a great, flowery recommendation of their child.
FCPS needs to fix the GT/AAP centers. FCPS needs to have a backbone against parents.  The real genius' should solely attend.  Not students who almost make the 132...[/quote]
