[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because the differences are negligible but the tracking is extreme.[/quote] This is it, in a nutshell. Sure, some kids are more advanced academically. But the current AAP system separates kids of *extremely similar* intelligence into two labeled groups. If it was an actual gifted program, it would only take the very highest scorers/achievers, and the vast majority of kids would be together in Gen Ed. with no hard feelings for the exceptional ones who would be receiving a special education. That's just not the case right now.[/quote] So there is a population of kids who are borderline. Thats ok. There will always be kids that just missed the cut off, that doesn't mean we should do away with the program.[/quote] There would be far fewer kids who "missed the cut off" if the cut off were raised. But that would just make too much sense. :roll:[/quote]
