[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My fifth grader tells me at least half the kids in his AAP Center class must have peaked in the 2nd grade, because they don't seem all that swift to him. (And the other half definitely belongs he says, and he isn't among the smartest ones). 
So I think it is very possible the precocious 2nd grader with high CogAts may have been advanced at that point in time, or extensively coached, but other kids may catch up with them in later grades. [/quote]

The screening tests that the kids take have little to do with the subjects being taught.

A kid's success has a lot to do with many factors, not just how they did in the screening test.  These factors include quality of the teaching, teaching environment, home support, peers, etc.  I hope you teach your child to not judge others and just to mind his own business.

It's sad that you disparage those kids based on what your child tells you.  Maybe those same kids are saying the same things to their parents about your kid.[/quote]
