[quote=Anonymous]I'm saying I don't think those things should be the criteria for entry into the gifted program. The criteria should be that the child is gifted. It's not the program for "compliant, well-behaved, highly motivated kids who always do well in school and are equally talented in all areas". Although that is what the program seems like at times and we could spend a long time arguing over whether or not FCPS actually does what it says.

From the website:

[quote] FCPS is committed to providing challenging learning experiences for all learners that build on their [b]individual strengths [/b]and optimize their abilities.Children who have been identified as giftedand talented have the [b]potential[/b] to achieve high levels of accomplishment, and this potential needs to be recognized and addressed. These students exhibit unusual performance capability in intellectual, creative, and/or artistic endeavors. They may also demonstrate exceptional leadership capacity and may excel in [b]specific academic areas[/b]. In order to meet their needs and develop their abilities, these highly able learners require a [b]differentiated curriculum that provides advanced learning opportunities[/b].[/quote]

I can tell you from my kid's experience in the center, there are kids all over the map in terms of internal motivation, grades, and behavior.[/quote]
