[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] You said: "To test giftedness, you really have to test above grade level, not at grade level." That is what all this is really about--using math to have your well prepared child classified as gifted. Getting the child labeled gifted by forcing MCPS to accelerate them!!! Do you really think MCPS hasn't figured you people out? [/quote] You are a moron and are doing a disservice to every highly able child out there. Gifted children, such as my son, test above grade level even without preparation, or they take IQ tests such as the WISC-IV and get scores above 130, again without preparation. These children, potentially the future brains of our country, are actually a subset of the special needs students - if they cannot receive acceleration, many of them will fail. [/quote] Why wouldn't this student be in a magnet if they are so advanced? [/quote]
