[quote=Anonymous]I am a huge center school.  Almost every kid I know that got into AAP this year from our school had some type of outside tutoring on math (in fact that is how they are viewed as being so advance in math and problem solving).  My 140+ Cogat and WISC kid was the only one who didn't take those classes during the school year. Scored above grade in iReady in the beginning in the year got all 4s in math.  I din't think I needed to push my child into that type of enrichment program because I was sure that my kid would not have any problems "catching up" once she got into AAP and in later years.  (We did the same thing with our older child who got into APP the first time around. She had no problems with Math without any tutoring and was at the top of her class.)

I do wonder though that some of the kids that got into AAP this year from my school may have had higher GBRS because their enrichment.  From what I understand these enrichment programs focus heavily on "problem solving" and competition math.

So, I think this notion that somehow kids getting higher GBRS are kids working independently, no outside help etc. is completely off.  [/quote]
