I think this is the explanation for some of the rejected kids with high scores.  They want to keep some of the gifted kids in gen ed and they look for the "best" well-behaved successful ones for this (not my "bored, disruptive" gifted kid).  The rest of this post is gobbledygook.[/quote]

This doesn’t make any sense. Are posters just making this up or is it at least from some source?[/quote]

I am sure that is pure speculation, perhaps with a bit of sour grapes. It doesn’t make sense and honestly “obedient kids” are not necessarily the ones thinking out of the box which is more what AAP is about. I kinda laugh at the idea of turning work samples into another standardized test of sorts. Exactly contrary to the whole point of work samples![/quote]

Well I've heard from a school principal that 2e kids have a huge advantage.  So maybe some truth to this.[/quote]
