[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS can't make a system that isn't preppable. [b]If they're mostly using teacher observations, the kids who seem the most gifted are the ones who've been taking enrichment classes or have tutors and already know the material being taught. These are the same kids who are prepping for the tests[/b]. It's not hard for parents who want their kids in AAP to crack the system. While the CogAT is an imperfect tool, it seems more fair than any other measurement they have. If the kid has a high test score, even if prepped, as well as high scores on the DRA, MRA, or iready, there's no reason to exclude that kid from AAP. [/quote] Creativity and out-of-the-box thinking isn't taught by enrichment classes or tutors. Remember we're talking about 1st and 2nd graders here. [/quote]
