Not relevant.  It is about giving access to all kids who would try out a slightly advanced curriculum that is purchased with public money and it is about spending public money on education not on committees and appeals.[/quote]

Letting any random kid "try it out" slows down the accelerated focus for the truly advanced kids. The idea is that kids are already "trying it out" in terms of their achievement in their normal first and second grade classes and the aptitude tests. The GBRS and aptitude tests are to gauge whether they have exceeded or fell short of expectations for an "advanced student" prior the Level IV admissions decision. Of course, there are major shortcomings with that approach but it's mostly because too many non advanced kids are admitted and especially with an equity focus, sometimes at the expense of an advanced kid. They should probably just administer an actual valid IQ test and admit solely based on that[/quote]
