[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve read a lot of dumb things online but this really takes the cake. [/quote] I don't think it's that dumb. For example, they use that CCT criteria and there's no reason to believe that strongly correlates with giftedness. They also don't know the difference between a WISC and a CogAT in terms of the information/insight offered about a child. And they evaluate your child based on crappy in-school work samples and then try to keep your kid out of AAP for whatever reason by giving them crappy HOPE scores. I don't think they have to be gifted necessarily but should have some significant training in identifying/understanding giftedness and advanced thinking/behavior. [/quote]
