[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm wondering just how many FARMS kids have parents who will march them out to get an IQ test when they don't get into AAP.  I'm thinking not a whole lot have the required $400, much less even know how the system works.  Guess that's why AAP is full of white and Asian, HHI kids.[/quote]
Sorry, what's HHI?  From your tone I assume it's something you find distasteful.  I've come up with Herfindahl–Hirschman Index and Hilton Head Island so far, but figure it's best to just ask.  [/quote]

Good grief.  It's household income - as in "high household income."  And no, I don't find it distasteful at all.  I am saying that AAP is full of HHI kids because they have parents who know how the system works and can afford the extra testing to get their kids into AAP (notice the huge amount of AAP kids in HHI areas - McLean, Great Falls, Vienna, Oakton, etc.).  FARMS kids don't have any of those advantages, which makes AAP in general a very uneven playing field.[/quote]
