[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] How many is lots? 20? 100? Each fall, around 2000 3rd graders start at center schools around the district. The percentage of kids who are prepped is pretty small.[/quote] Based on what? There are at least 4 or 5 prep centers, and there are a lot of online resources. I would not assume that the percentage of kids who are prepped is that small. 10% of FCPS kids score within the top 2% nationally. [b]It's much more likely that a large portion of kids are prepped than it is that this area is [i]that[/i] much smarter than anywhere else, especially since every major city with a dedicated gifted program seems to have ludicrously many kids score in the gifted ranges on those tests.[/b] [/quote] Eh. Look at the maps showin who voted for Trump. I don’t doubt for one second that the population on a whole in major metropolitan areas IS indeed THAT much smarter. It costs more to live in those places. That means successful parents. That means lots of smart parents. That means lots of kids with the genetic make up to be very smart. I recognize some people prep. Many on this board have admitted doing so though many of those deny that what they did is prepping. But I still think this area is smarter than some podunk town in the middle of the country. [/quote] I think you are the same poster with anti trump ideas. I'm not sharing my ideas here, as this is not a political board. Please keep politics out of AAP. We're trying to figure out how to help our children, not your political agenda. [/quote]
