[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're disappointed that your child is in the 99th percentile?[/quote]

I’m disappointed in the 135 part.

My other kid was in the 130s and he didn’t get in to AAP.[/quote]

Because the teacher form (GBRS in the past/HOPE now) can tank or make a kid.

Kids in the 100s can get in with a good form, kids in the 130s won't with a bad one. This has been public info for years.

Prepping doesn't make a difference in the case of a kid in the 130s. Having a good form does.[/quote]

As for the HOEP scale, can someone help me understand how the social emotional traits help to identify a gifted student. I am talking about the factors listed in FCPS HOPE scale such as:
---- Is sensitive to larger or deeper issues of human concern.
---- Shows compassion for others.
My neighbor old granny has these gifted traits for sure.  :lol: [/quote]

I have no idea, but it would have been absolutely horrible for my AAP 6th grader, who has done fabulous in the program.

It will be great for my 2nd grader, who I alternate between thinking absolutely does belong in AAP one minute and 5 minutes later thinking absolutely no.

The HOPE scale seems horrible for your stereotypical quiet, shy, socially awkward smart kid and great for a bubbly outgoing kid who may or may not actually do well in school. I've been assuming AARTs and teachers will manipulate their answers so the kids they think belong in AAP look good regardless.[/quote]
