[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All this hand-wringing would never have occurred a few years ago when it was "GT" for the [b]actually gifted[/b] and the School Board seemed to possess more common sense.  Now that everybody and their brother is in AAP, it holds no meaning whatsoever.[/quote]

The name was changed to Advanced Academics -- that is all.

And the number found eligible for AAP has actually dropped -- see Attachment B:

Yes.  They dropped from a year where they were hopelessly inflated because of a flawed test.  But the general trend is still up.[/quote]

Absolutely.  I believe that year was 2012-13, when my DC was in 3rd grade.  The majority of the kids in DC's 28 student 2nd grade classroom were admitted to AAP.  Nothing was ever done to remedy that situation, and so now this grade is overwhelmingly AAP.  Completely ludicrous and shocking, not only to me but to many other parents at our school.  [/quote]

Wasn't that the year of the new CogAT form 7?[/quote]
