[quote=Anonymous]^ I don't necessarily disagree with you. My stance is that a kid cannot study or prep enough to get a 145 CogAT without also being gifted. VA has a mandate that gifted kids are to be given gifted services, and FCPS specifically uses AAP to meet that mandate. Also, kids who are gifted but underperforming in the classroom are the ones who need gifted programming the most. VA does not have a mandate that above average high achievers are to be given gifted programming, yet AAP is mostly filled with those kids. I agree that AAP would not be a good fit for the gifted underachievers. FCPS does not have a program that is suitable for kids who are gifted but for whatever reason are not performing in the classroom. I'm also a bit worried that gifted level scores and poor performance in the classroom could indicate undiagnosed ADHD. [/quote]
