everybody gets put back together again after it ends in Middle School

It does absolutely nothing long term for anyone[/quote]

tons of people.
Do you know where we should go to get our WISC?
How much supplemental info should I sub,it for our appeal?

As far as all going back together for high school, grades 3-8 are super important academically.

There is excellent data showing that most of the children placed in AAP or gifted programs revert to norm on the IQ scale by the time they graduate high school. The vast majority of kids, those without pushy parents, are suffering as the best teachers and resources are skimmed off for these supposedly "exceptional" children. Remedial classes and gen ed have been combined to free up AP teachers.[/quote]

Anecdotally i believe kids do revert back.  Part of the issue to me is keeping kids engaged in school to develop into lifelong learners.  If they are not intellectually challenged appropriately early on, they may tune out.  This applies To every kind of
Learner.[/quote]

Anecdotally, I believe a decent amount of the kids test in to AAP on their own, and their parents have little to do with them being in AAP. [/quote]

And then those go on to TJ, and then they keep going right on up the ladder academically after that.  [/quote]

Not that this matters, but my kid tested in to AAP with no prep but I do not except this child to apply to TJ. At the revelant time, I expect we will continue to think the typical HS experience offered at our base is best choice for our family. [/quote]
