[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A gifted kid should be placed in AAP regardless of where they live. If high SES schools have more gifted kids, then there should be more AAP classes to accomodate them.
My kid who tested in the 98% across all tests, was NOT in pool because we live in a high SES area. Make the pool larger![/quote]

Did you parent refer? Because being in-pool does not mean a kid is placed in AAP LIV. Plenty of parent refered kids are in LIV classes.

The pool does not mean that kids are accepted into AAP. The majority of kids in LIV classes were not in the pool. [/quote]

I did refer, but that's not the point. My point is that it's unfair for a kid at that level to not be considered right away and be placed in pool. Being in pool does increase your chanes of being admited. The same happened with my older child who tested in the 99% and was not in pool. We parent referred in both cases. 
Kids who test at those levels should be accepted into AAP automatically and not be penalized because they have more competition. The higher competition does not change the fact that they need more advanced math. [/quote]
