[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In MoCo schools, about 95% of parents believe that their kids are gifted. It's worse than Lake Woebegone. [/quote] But kids take a gazillion standardized tests. Inview, MAP every year, maybe HGC, and more. The test results are pretty clear, right? Don't parents pay attention and modify their expectations, one way or another, based on them?[/quote] I'm in FFX county (parent) and IMO nope. My child scored super high (99+%) at all the "gifted" tests, I graduated from Ivy and top grad school. We're both normal, maybe brighter than average, but nothing exceptional. I worked hard in school. If DC wins the Nobel price or cures cancer, that's another story. But he's in elementary school, it's comical to discuss how brilliant they are at this age. My brother barely finished a tier 3 college, hated school but he's very creative, a risk taker, and great at networking and selling. Guess who's the multimillionaire in the family. [/quote]
