[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reminds me of grade school just before they had my IQ tested.

Looking back, I don't think the gifted program was that important.  Like we barely did anything.  It was more for the teachers, so they didn't have this loose wheel sitting in the class.  Even in high school the gifted program was kind of lame, I just did homework there, study hall would have been fine, I would have read more books.  I don't think any of the other gifted kids took that class.  Maybe we played with computers some.  There were some nice, gifted kids' outings but those were after hours.[/quote]

Those tests are not IQ tests and the program is made up of the students who are the best students, the students aren’t gifted, they should lose that title.  [/quote]

I'm pretty sure I had an IQ test, with an individual assessor.  [/quote]

What year and state?   [/quote]

Dp. How could that possibly matter for this thread? [/quote]

The PP just wants to argue irrelevant areas.  The point was the kid will be fine sitting in class reading a book, but the teachers won't like the loose screw.[/quote]

I didn’t start this irrelevant topic the other person did.   A lot of parents think the schools test every students IQ but most don’t , typically they use OLSAT or similar.

If it was by IQ they wouldn’t have enough 130 IQs to fill a classroom.   With only 2% of students testing 130 and you have a total of 100 1st graders and you test them you would have 2 students who qualify.

Parents shouldn’t worry about kids having a 130 IQ

FCPS skews much higher IQ than normal. The average IQ of parents is likely 120+ and the apples don't fall far from the tree.[/quote]
