[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The word "gifted' is often misused to mean "prodigy" But gifted in the way the locals schools use it really means IQ above 120. Most white collar professions in Dc have that IQ and pass it along to the children. Thus there are many who qualify, as can be seen by the high number of children in the AAP program. It does not mean that they are genius of prodigies who play the piano like Mozart.[/quote] This. Although I think it is more like they are aiming an IQ of 130. I don't know why people cannot just accept the common usage of this term. We all know we are unlikely to be in the presence of future Nobel winners here but that doesn't mean some of these kids don't need special attention to keep them engaged. It is for the benefit of society that we pay attention to the smart kids so that they can reach their potential.[/quote]
