[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]My DD also got a 16 last year with very detailed examples as well.  She also top out both tests so we weren't surprised by the high GBRS.  Just one year into AAP but she loves it and has  made many more friends this year.  [/quote][/b]

Thanks for bragging.  [/quote]

not bragging.

She's basically sheldon-level smart, which you can understand is not always easy.  i wasn't bragging but relaying our experience.

Our other child is a little ahead of the average.  He has a photographic memory but can't make the connections on concepts that DD does.  So, less problems with him socially or athletically, but AAP may not be for him.  Either way I don't care which program they're in as long as it is the best fit for them.  AAP is clearly the better fit for our DD.

It was bragging.  What is highlighted in bold was non-responsive, extraneous information you couldn't help but throw in.[/quote]  Sorry - I meant to highlight everything BUT the first sentence to your original response.  [/quote]

I can also definitively tell you that you don't have a kid that is need of a special ed program for highly gifted kids (or it was meant to be) because you would know it's not bragging.

Also, next time I post an answer I'll run it by you to ensure I don't add anything non-responsive or extraneous. FWIW, I know very well how to respond in a direct manner.  I manage a [b]$1.5B[b] program, write policy and congressional testimony as part of my job and I'm certainly not going to give my responses on an anonymous forum much thought after the type of work I do all day.  And for the record, THAT was bragging (see bold).

Mr./Mrs. $1.5B Program Manager, here's a sticker for you...  http://i3.cpcache.com/product/215044177/aap_oval_sticker.jpg[/quote]

You really don't get it do you?  I have no need for this sticker.  I didn't have to coach my kid or cross my fingers or even hope that she'd get in.  This program was meant for kids like her.  This is on the special needs spectrum.  If you are working so hard to get your kid into this program it's not meant for them.  I'll repeat that it's not bragging when you talk about your child's special needs and this is a special need for her. Jealousy is an ugly trait.[/quote]
