[quote=Anonymous]I know this thread can be silly at times and I probably should hold my tongue--especially since this should go without saying... But many gifted kids are obvious and others aren't. If it were as simple as going to a school event and noticing which kids are "on the ball," then we would never need any other criteria. Sure GT/AAP kids excel at something, but by 2nd grade some may not show it IN SCHOOL. So, yes, some of those kids do get overlooked. It happens every year. Some kids who get in AAP will excel and other won't. This too happens every year. And for those kids who excel at one subject, but struggle with another they are probably going to have mixed feelings about AAP. They are either going to get past the struggle or not. It doesn't necessarily mean they didn't belong or weren't "gifted." The class may be a good fit or not. They are all little human beings and that's the way it goes. [/quote]
