[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Because kids who are prepped: (1) [b]bloat the size of the program[/b], and create a situations where parents argue it is not a true GT program and (2) slow the entire class down Because they cannot perform at the same level in an u prepped setting.[/quote]

Far better to have bloated GT programs rather than bloated prisons.  There is no downside to the habits of mental, intellectual, and academic prepping.  If there are any issues, it's certainly not related to prepping but rather the goals, mission, and administration of the GT program.  Far better to have a bloat of highly prepared and performing children than a society of poorly performing misfits![/quote]

So very, very true.  What is it with this board that tries to devalue study and preparation....[/quote]

I'm lost.  Not prepping for AAP leads to people being destined for prison?  if the parents weren't prepping their kids, they'd leading them down the wrong path?  They wouldn't be involved with their kids?  I'm missing the connection.[/quote]

It's a spectrum. [b]Everybody, no matter what level of gifts they are born with will do "better" with hard work, study, and preparation.  It's not an AAP thing, it's a life thing. [/b]

But does it really have to start when kids are 6 and 7.   Childhood is also a "life" thing and too many kids I see are missing out on one.

On one end of the spectrum (AAP) if you're borderline, with hard work, study, and preparation you'll likely to have a better chance.

On the other end, the same hard work, study, and preparation will get you out of the troubled environments that lead, among other things, to prison.

90% of our kids are in the middle with no fear of either AAP or prison.  Just saying, with hard work, study, and preparation you can do "better".  And that's good.

It's not a new concept, for generations, it was the American way.  Seems to be lost on some these days sadly.[/quote][/quote]
