[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Reading this board it seems like every parent thinks that their kid is highly gifted[/b] and the next Einstein, and is hence being rewarded or punished depending on whether they got into an HGC or not. Since that is statistically impossible, are people confusing smart kids with gifted kids? Maybe there should be an objective way to temper parents' expectations: Unless your kid got 99s or 98s in the 2nd grade Inview tests and ES scores across the board in the 3rd grade, maybe you do not have gifted kids???? And yes, I understand that 2nd/3rd grade scores are in no way indicative of future success, but maybe this will help address the immediate madness. And yes, I agree that smart kids should get enriched education, even if they do not get into an HGC. No idea if MCPS can do this or if one needs to explore the private school option for this.[/quote] Bingo.[/quote]
