[quote=Anonymous][quote] As you may recall, 1st grade and 2nd grade students were tested in the past when the CoGAT and Otis Lennon tests were administered back in the 90s. [/quote]

LOL! We didn't move here until 2000 and DD is a 4th grader, so no I don't recall. :)

I also think it's a different world now than it was in the 90s in terms of internet info, so I wonder if FCPS is prepared for a bit of chaos. As I said, I am mainly curious since it does not affect us.

[quote]Does it really mean that much to all of you to be able to say your child is in the gifted program? Really? [/quote]

I think part of the problem is that the process is not that transparent and more than a little bit arbitrary. It can be cnfusing for parents going through the process the first time. If your kid is not in the pool, do you refer? Is it worth it? And some AARTs are not helpful to families going through the process. But for my DD, yes it was very important for her well being at school to get into the center. For other kids more laid back and easy going, perhaps not so much.[/quote]
