[quote=Anonymous]14:12, I agree with you. My only question would be how the AAP curriculum could be taught effectively in gen ed if it would not be a good fit with the majority of the class? Maybe in some schools it would work but not in others. I wish there was a way to do it.

It's possible to see it as a good thing that so many get into AAP. Not just profoundly gifted but also plain vanilla gifted with IQ 130 or above (which may seem average in our area but really is not). With lots getting in, that should include the borderline cases, so anyone not getting in can assume that they were not close to what should actually be the standards? People complain about dilution, everyone getting in. But on the flip side that sets you up to feel REALLY bad if you don't get in, like you weren't even close enough to be borderline. Or you LOOK like you weren't even close to borderline, if you are talking about stigma. I'm hoping that with WISC those with IQ 130 or above do get in at least on appeal. [/quote]
