[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SKR, I would appeal. Sometimes the selection committee at the school  feels you have[b] "too many brights in the family" and they need to "share the AAP wealth" [/b]It seems like she qualifies, so I would appeal, or else move. Everyone in my family has an advanced degree -- we all would have qualified for GT. Thankfully, we (adults) did not go to school in this system. All of my children were in GT --older now.

Thanks and to 13.16 in above as well.

I plan to go speak with the classroom teacher and get her candid opinion once more and see what best to do. Certainly May isn't going that great. :( [/quote]

No they don't.  Or AAP wouldn't have as many kids as it does.  I think parents are more likely to think "too many brights in one family."  AAP evaluators just look at files. [/quote]

Also, the fact that someone has an advanced degree does not necessarily mean that that person would have qualified for GT. Lots of people with average and above average IQs earn advanced degrees. [/quote]

Good point, one even became President![/quote]

Lots are CEOs of large corporations and in leadership positions of all kinds all over the world. More people are of average or above average IQ than are gifted and it does not stop them from being successful.
