Also, LOL at the PP who thought that kids who have very high IQs and are advanced are not necessarily AAP material because they aren't showing enough curiosity or enough excitement to be learning.  PP, you obviously know nothing at all about gifted ed and gifted children.  Gifted programs were created primarily to help the high IQ kids who were underachieving and who were falling through the cracks.  It has been documented for a long time that many gifted kids disengage when they already know the material being taught and can't make themselves slog through another worksheet.  Or they start having behavioral problems because everything is so incredibly slow.

Yep, this definitely sounds like my story.  In school I had a teacher who was semi-abusive and convinced that I was dumb.  My parents stood up for me, so the teacher called in cognitive evaluators to prove that she was right.  The evaluators came to the opposite conclusion, I went on to thrive in GT, and the rest is history.

It's sad to see that so many seemingly worthy children didn't get the same chance this time around, and that the school system has sunk back to relying on subjective witchcraft in determining the results.[/quote]
