It's fine if you believe that some kids are just 'smarter' and more 'gifted' than others.  I might agree that some super 'gifted' kids might be.  But, really, I think a good number of the smart, hard-working kids would do well at an HGC.  [b]There are just not enough spots.[/b]  I think that's where we disagree.  You feel that only some kids deserve to be there, but I think that if a kid is smart 'enough' and willing to do the work to keep up, he/she deserves a spot as well. [b] And, if prepping gives the kids a small leg up by being familiar with the types of questions, then so be it. [/b] [/quote]

Just so I'm clear, you're ok with a child who is intellectually in the top 3% being excluded because a child who is intellectually in the top 10% was prepped by their parents?

I'm not the PP you're responding to, but do you think that it's possible to measure a third-grader's intellectual and academic capability with such precision? I don't.[/quote]
