[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make opt-in AAP available for all, but then create a true gifted program for truly gifted--not just bright--kids.[/quote] What qualifies them as truly gifted? Test scores? Back to square 1.[/quote] Test scores much higher than the current cut-offs, for one.[/quote] I could support this. My child is "bright" but not "truly gifted" (just being honest!). If regular curriculum allowed for her to be in some sort of differentiated class where they could move more quickly and kids were engaged, she would be FINE not doing AAP. But currently, the regular curriculum is so low that she was bored to tears. I don't truly think she's "gifted" in the sense that many perceive it, and I would be totally find with a more tiered system. But I don't think that's the trend these days :)[/quote]
