[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because I have taught in gifted programs. The AAP craziness is just that. The highest level services were designed for true outlier kids - kids that nowadays would likely be classed as 2E or scary prodigies. It was not meant for simply really bright kids. The more you push bright or barely bright kids into the program, the more worthless it becomes. Track kids in their home schools, add supplemental work. The kids that it is meant for are the kids that took up 75% of my time and most of the oxygen in the classroom. I still remember many of their names many years later and I think of them with fondness, but the rest should have just been in a more traditionally structured classroom.[/quote]

You’re lying. If you think the highest AaP services is designed for the prodigies then you have clearly never taught aap. [/quote]

These are for slightly above-average kids whose parents have the resources to navigate the admissions process. [/quote]
