[quote=Anonymous][quote=FC_Mama][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So much noise over an ineffective method.  If your child is gifted and brilliant why worry over other children using ineffective methods to boost IQ and aptitude and ability.  What's the fuss over others wasting their dollars as you claim.  Get over it, read for pleasure, and eat your breakfast daily.[/quote]

There are two categories of parents of gifted kids.  First kind includes those parents that help their gifted kids fit in socially, prepare them for entry into advanced programs, prepare them to compete for  academic excellence, and get the most out of what the school system offers.  And the second kind are those parents who think their kid is a rare gifted kid, and are extremely insecure when they find out there are many other gifted kids who are better than theirs.  This insecurity drives the second kind to grouch about the first kind.  [/quote]

I'd argue there's also a third category of parents with gifted kids who [b]don't give a hoot about the tests and think AAP isn't worth the hassle, even if it might benefit their child.[/b][/quote]

Whoa! And Gen Ed is a lot less hassle than AAP?
