[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AAP is a gifted program (IQ around 130 or above, or the best approximation FCPS can get to it with a limited budget for testing and not WISC for all). It just isn't a highly gifted program.

Look at these IQ ranges (link below) for various professions. It looks like AAP as it currently exists is nurturing and developing those who may eventually work in fields like science, medicine, academia. There may be an implicit belief that providing extra enrichment for kids in the 130 and above group will lead to important innovations one day. Not that no others can innovate or make significant contributions -- far from it -- but the 130 cutoff for FCPS and nationally may have some type of unstated rationale.

One could argue that IQ 140 and above (group formerly targeted by FCPS to be sent to centers) would be even more likely to innovate in the future and should be split off to develop with even greater enrichment. [/quote]
