[quote=Anonymous]If GT services at the elementary school level aren't giving our kids a leg up in the college admissions process, then I don't really get the point. And my kid has been identified as GT. He likes his GT teacher, but I am not convinced the extra "homework" is really doing anything for his longer-term success. As I mentioned in my earlier post, I was really surprised by the college acceptance rates that were reported in that same magazine. I think we are wasting a lot of energy arguing about this stuff, when everyone should be focused on what APS high school looks like in 5-10 years when we are 3,000 high school seats short of what we need. We're arguing over how Ks end up getting selected to do extra math worksheets, and meanwhile all the local ivy league college slots are going to Fairfax and Montgomery County kids.[/quote]
