[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I have no problem at all with this. But, if you don't understand the psychology behind kids/people with very high IQs don't comment like you do. I don't care about IQ's either, but when you have a chid that is on either the very low or very high side of intelligence, it presents with other challenges. [b]Parents on this board speak to this issue without knowing what they are talking about[/b]. Sadly AAP is not a gifted program and these kids are left with little or the inappropriate resources. In addition, the aap program has created this craziness of competition to gain "bragging rights" about kids being in the program. They should up their game in the ten ed classes and keep the special eds classes just that - special ed for those who truly need different support.[/quote]

I'm sure both of my own kids who are both in SET and started out in test-in HGC, middle and now high school math/science/computer science magnets (full scale 146...both) are not as gifted as your kids but I have no issues with voicing my views.  We have no issue with test prepping, voracious reading, hard work and preparation as a way of life for kids and adults.  Many of these kids may even be more gifted and qualified than your own.  But, we know this is not true from your perspective.  You should not flaunt your abject insecurities about the learning and retention methods of other children as if these children are impeding the progress and methods chosen by you and your gifted child.  We are simply tired of your whimper and whine over nothing.  If you don't like it please homeschool your child in your germ-free silo.[/quote]

Not pp. Go to bed, blowhard.  :roll: [/quote]
