[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing is there are younger kids who pass the cut-off. Any evidence that there is an overwhelming number of older kids in the pool? Agree with PP, that the child's birthdate is visible to committee, and it can be taken into consideration. [/quote] Sure, there are younger kids who pass a cut-off, this is not the question. The scores are [b]comparative[/b]. So, if I have child A who gets, say 90, and that child is a December child, and child B who got an 88 percentile, and that child is a July child, the idea communicated to the review board is that child A is 'more gifted' than child B when the exact opposite is the case! The scores as they are reflect age discrimination, and once such tainted scores are part of the selection process, [b]that process is tainted[/b]. [/quote]
