[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I would bet you most lower income and by extension URM parents would have no idea what to do That's the issue. We as a society need to a better job of identifying all of these kids earlier. These are the kids that should be in AAP and by extension TJ NOT the kids that are pushed into camps and training who while smart are not top 1-5% smart.[/quote] Yep. I'm. huge fan of strengthening head start and Young Scholars programs. The people running those programs should then be specifically looking for kids who seem to learn things unusually quickly so the school can take steps to help gifted URMs and low income kids. Depending on the school, this might already be happening. Many AARTs will refer kids themselves if the kid belongs in AAP, but the parents are unlikely to understand how to refer.[/quote]
