[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]>>to be [b]used for the elimination of kids[/b] who were clearly identified as exceptional by the appropriate tests but failed to impress their teachers The central screening committee is not looking to keep kids out of AAP.[/quote] Understood. However, this doesn't explain how kids who have amazing scores (not something you can accomplish by luck) are left out of AAP. I do not think that there is any reasonable argument that can justify this (frequently occurring) situation. Blaming the kids who are 7 or 8 for not trying hard enough to show off how smart they really are is not only unreasonable but also kind of ridiculous. The burden is clearly on the teachers to bring out the best in their students, and I know what I am talking about - I am a college professor myself and I come from a family of educators.[/quote]
