[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The generally accepted definition of "gifted" is 2 standard deviations above the norm. That would be ~2.5% of the population. Assuming Fairfax draws gifted people who (maybe, if you think intelligence is genetic) have gifted kids, maybe you could up that to 3-4%. Your child is bright, not gifted. THAT'S A GOOD THING. The world, society, life are made for people who are bright, not gifted.[/quote] This. But keep in mind that AAP includes 15-20% of the population. Most of the kids who are accepted into AAP are bright but not gifted. [/quote] And honestly success in AAP is about being either smart enough to not have to work hard in advanced math or a hard enough worker to keep up. Bright and hard working will be just fine in AAP (shoot, it can also succeed at TJ - that's me and I did!).[/quote]
