[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [quote] Thankfully, "gifted" is really low key in Arlington. You have to remember that APS is FILLED with high-achieving kids who test well. You can have a child in the 98th, 99th percentile in testing and they won't be offered services. They're looking for something different -- more classic "gifted" behavior. Often it goes hand in glove with other characteristics about the child, typically something not neurotypical. [b] It's a much better way of managing the program than the nuttery that is AAP in Fairfax[/b]. [/quote] Do you actually have a child who has been in AAP in Fairfax? They also base their decisions on classic "gifted" behavior. [/quote] No, actually, they don't. They dumbed it down to include high-achieving students who would perform just fine in general ed, largely at the insistence of a fleet of helicopter parents who think their precious little snowflake is too smart to learn with the masses.[/quote]
