So my child can be an example that the committe is not 
focusing only on the nnat / cogat scores anymore?

It is actually an example of the NEW "fools in schools" program promoted by Fairfax county  :D haycock level 4 aap is NOW gen-ed quality[/quote]

My "fool's" scores were even lower and she is completely thriving in AAP and easily keeping up with all the "geniuses" in her class. If you don't like AAP and think it's like gen-ed there are plenty of private school stress factories that will take your money. [/quote]

True,nNo wonder your kid is thriving, with the whole AAP program diluted with the admission of low scoring average kids. With a gen-ed level AAP class, the kid sure is a rock star. To prevent such nonsense, Mensa and Davidson's gifted programs don't even admit such low scoring kids to their gifted programs.[/quote]

I'm not buying it. My kid's in AAP. Didn't score high at all for whatever reason. I know there are probably some kids in her class that did score very high on the tests - it's a large center. The class is super competitive with each other, and she is constantly coming home saying she had the best or second-best score on tests. They are all taking the same test - I asked. How does it work out that my stupid kid is beating out your genius? Sure, maybe the curriculum is watered down (whatever), but they are all taking the same test. Is your genius missing answers on purpose to make my child feel better about herself? I doubt it. Perhaps-ish those IQ tests don't mean much in the grand scheme of things. [/quote]

Just curious how your DC knows she had the best or second-best scores on tests.

Kids talk and share scores. DS can tell us most of the scores in his class because his classmates are sharing their scores. we remind him that grades are not a competition and are private and he tells us that other kids compare how they are doing all the time. It drives me crazy.

And yes, he knows that his math score is normally one of the top scores in the class. He also knows that he finishes his work with enough time to do the extra activities and use the STEM stuff in the classroom for fun while he has friends who never get to do that because they are struggling to finish their work. Iknow this because his friends parents complain that their child is jealous of the kids who get to do the extra work when their kid is struggling to complete the required work.

Between parents and other kids it is not hard to know where my kid stands in the class.[/quote]
