[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] That is probably true as well. I believe the shared resources is more about who these groups socialize with and socio-economic status is probably baked in there. [/quote] Yep. In my neighborhood, in the last 4 years, 10 kids have gotten into AAP, and only 2 haven't. Of the ones who've been accepted, maybe 2 of them are actually gifted, and the rest are garden-variety above average privileged kids. Only 3 of them were even in-pool, and the rest were all parent referrals. People in my neighborhood are highly aware of AAP, attend the school AAP info sessions when their kids are still in K or 1st, talk about test prep at the bus stop, and know exactly how to present their kids in a way that gets them picked for AAP. I'm sure it's different in neighborhoods where few kids go to AAP or where nobody is focused on it. [/quote]
