[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Top 3% are very special kids with unique needs. [/quote] Not in my experience as a magnet parent. Most of them are just regular bright kids.[/quote] Yup. I’m in the top 1%, IQ wise. I’m smart (got into a top prep school and graduated with honors, graduated in the top 10% of a top 25 research university and went to a top 10 PhD program) but I’m not so smart that I couldn’t be served with accelerated classes at my home ES and MS. I think people who say these things haven’t met gifted kids and profoundly gifted kids. I knew profoundly gifted kids at my high school. They weren’t just excelling in math; they were coming up with new geometric theorems. They are special kids with unique needs. They tested out of BC calc at 14 and spent high school doing things like real analysis. [/quote]
