[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We never jockeyed for GT like the crazy-@ss parents in K at our elementary.

By 4th grade, my kids tested off the charts on Cogats and always had 600 SOLS.  The school then sent the letter to have them designated.

There was benefit in 4th/5th because they had a strong GT teacher at school.

MS--no difference at all.  They are in the HS-credit intensified classes. That is enough IMO.   I would say majority kids at their school are above-average.  It comes with the area.  The parents all have advanced degrees, high SES earners so of course their children will be bright as well.

Truly gifted is a whole different beast.  I think there are probably less than 1% truly gifted and those kids usually aren't across the board.  And, again, I am not talking about kids like mine that get straight As and high test scores.  That's par for the course, not necessarily gifted.[/quote]

Arlington ... where the “majority” of kids are “above-average” and, “of course”, the kids of high SES earners with dana ds degrees are bright.  [/quote]
