[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of the people who are most adamantly against aap or TJ or the like have traditionally average kids.

What do you think qualifies you to have a valid opinion or a meaningful input if you don’t have a real understanding of gifted individuals?[/quote]

Ask all of the people who have been using exam prep to pass their kids off as brighter than they are.[/quote]

This happens ALL the time with ALL kinds of tests. Med school grads have to take the board test and law school grads have to pass the bar exam to become licensed. Are you saying these people cheated because they used prep materials including previously used exam questions when preparing to take these tests? [/quote]

The problem isn't prep per se but that it's only available to those who are willing to invest in it. The problem is public school programs should be open to everyone not just those who can afford to invest in prep.[/quote]

I am firmly anti-prep but you’re incorrect, AAP is certainly available to those who don’t invest in prep. My kid is in it w/o prepping and so are many others. [/quote]
