But that would mean her child is not “gifted”. What a tragedy! Instead her child [b]is[/b] [b][u]gifted[/u][/b], and the others are cheating.[/quote]
AAP is not a gifted program.
When a child actively prepares for tests, including COGAT, NNAT, SOL, etc. it demonstrates their appreciation for and interest in learning. In this regard, they are likely to adapt well to the AAP program. While it is not a very good program for truly gifted children, it does provide an excellent opportunity for students who are motivated to delve deeper into their studies compared to their peers in general education.

Don’t you mean when a parent actively makes their child prep for tests because I don’t know of any first or second grader that is coming home and saying “Mom, I want to prep for the NNAT or the CoGAT, can we find a class or a workbook!” I can see high school students asking to prep for the SAT because they see it as important but not early ES.

I can see ES kids asking to read or play math games or some math or watch science videos or do a science kit but all of those are different then wanting to prep for a test.

So no, I don’t see prep as a sign of a child’s interest in learning. It demonstrates parents that want their child to have access to a different educational opportunity. And the tests do not show that a child will adapt well to AAP. The GBRS are probably a better indicator of how a child will adapt because those get at how willing a child is to delve into subjects and how curious a child is.  [/quote]
