[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Why so many negative comments about a child with a high ability test score?[/b] Is this because most AAP hopefuls on this board have scores in a lower range? They want a child with a high score denied?

I have a child for whom I think AAP would be the best placement. In my mind, she exhibits behaviors chracteristic of a gifted child. And she also happens to have earned a high NNAT score. Her greatest strengths are in art and mathematics, so it makes sense to me.

If I read these board, the other parents say it may not happen. Then what happens to her? She will be the smartest child in her class. Always our performing her peers and requiring differentiation that maybe one else in the class needs. It's easier for the teacher if she's placed in AAP. [/quote]

What thread are you reading? I didn't see negative comments about a child with a high ability test score. Plenty of in pool kids do not make AAP. Many get level III services and some do end up being "the smartest child in her class. Always our performing her peers and requiring differentiation that maybe one else in the class needs." so yeah. A high score on NNAT or CogAT are not guarantees into AAP. Just look at old threads or talk to people. [/quote]
