[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]So, what's the big concern if a kids gets in by cheating?[/b]  As long as my kid is where they're supposed to be, in AAP or not, I don't really care.  That kids is not a taking a spot away from other kids, as there isn't a set number of acceptances.  He's the one who will suffer if he can't keep up.

Your child is not alone.  Do you want your child to be surrounded by a bunch of cheaters?  What if they become friends and little by little, everyone's concept of what is acceptable behavior within the community erodes.  Too many parents caring only that [i]their[/i] child gets what he/she deserves ( or what the parent thinks the kid deserves) is how we've gotten into the situation we have with AAP in this county.

Also, the cheater might not be taking a spot from anyone since there are apparently unlimited seats for AAP students, but over time that is what has inflated the program beyond all reason and led to the destruction of local school communities. And to what end?  From what I've seen with kids now in college (both in gifted programs and not), all this ridiculous sorting at age 7 and 8, is a lot of disruption for little payoff.  [/quote]
