So true. I was talking to a few neighbors and all of their bright kids got in with "low scores" as well. It is an advanced program, after all. [b]My kid is crazy bright[/b] and always has been. [b]Not saying my kid belongs in Mensa or anything[/b] but I am glad test scores are not the only factor.[/quote]

You have a bizarre definition of "crazy bright."  This thread really illustrates why my gifted kid is so bored in AAP.  He's stuck twiddling his thumbs and waiting for all of the "crazy bright kids"  :roll: to learn the concepts and catch up.  [/quote]

Haha! I absolutely love it. My “crazy bright” kid will be running circles around your “bored kid”!!! And I’ll be smiling the whole time.

Have a great day![/quote]

LOL.  No.  Just no.  The teachers have said that they can't extend up for my kid, because they have to focus on the masses rather than the top kids.  He gets straight 4s and pass advanced on everything without lifting a finger.  I don't begrudge parents of bright kids for getting them into AAP, as it is now mostly filled with bright kids.  It's unfortunate that FCPS is meeting the letter of the state gifted mandate law but not at all the spirit of the law.   [/quote]

I feel bad for you, it’s a real first world problem you have there. But in all honesty, you have to be an advocate for your kid. Don’t come here trying to knock down kids who went through the exact same application process as everyone else, and got in. There will always be kids smarter and less smart in any given classroom in Fairfax County. It is a public school system. If your kid needs more than AAP, dish out the cash and make it happen. If that’s not an option, there are always extracurricular activities. We are all parents here, let’s not try to ridicule parents for thinking their kids are smart. It’s lame. [/quote]
