[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS should pay for a WISC for every child in second grade, is absolutely right. Until all kids are measured using this superior test, then allowing some kids to get into AAP with WISC scores is not equitable and it is allowing some parents (particularly ones who seek out a private psychologist who sits in the room and administers the test one on one to their child) to buy their kids way into AAP. [/quote] In FCPS when I was in school, admission was based on WISC alone, and it was a much smaller and more significant program. A 130 would get a kid school-based services, and a 140 would get center placement. Centers were fewer and the experience was truly that of highly gifted kids working at similar levels. I think FCPS should return to that model. At that time, parents paid for testing if they wanted it, but now that GMU offers free testing for those on free or reduced lunch, it shouldn't be a barrier.
