[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's largely because of this board.

Regardless of what is posted on these boards, the majority of kids score in the low 100's, and the numbers get smaller the further away from 100 that you get on either side.

That is true nationally, but I wonder if "the majority of kids" in Fairfax county score in the low 100's.  People aren't concerned about how their DCs compare to students in Kansas - [/quote]

Why does it matter?
Why are the kids being compared to each other at all?
The committee will not be comparing them to each other. They will be considering their factors individually and looking for a combination of factors that will ensure success in the AAP program.

If Johnny next door scored a 150 and my kid only scored a 130, does that mean my kid is inferior? 
Not at all, my kid still scored higher than 98% of kids his age in the country, regardless of where they live. That includes those living in poverty and essentially raising themselves as well as NY socialite kids who have been prepped since birth, but mostly it's normal kids with a good home life who are getting a solid education.

Why do all the parents in this county feel so strongly that their kid has to be better/smarter/stronger/faster than the other kids in their class? 
That is the number 1 guaranteed way to end up with a child who spends his or her entire life feeling not-good-enough.[/quote]
