[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please, don’t you get it?  Everyone has the best math and reading kid. That’s evident. [/quote]
Yeah, but a few kids actually are the best at math or reading.  People on this forum don’t seem to want to acknowledge that.  [/quote]

That was the point of my post. Everyone here thinks her kid is the top or gifted or testing above grade level or has no peer group or.... Obviously that can’t be. [b]I mean - the other parents must all be mistaken.[/b] After all, the teacher told me so, the tests say so, my kid says he’s bored, my kid hasn’t learned a thing all year...[/quote]

PP here.  Considering that FCPS has accelerated my child to be on track for 5th grade algebra, I can pretty safely say that my kid has no peer group in math in his grade at his school.  I agree, though, that many FCPS parents are delusional and have over inflated views of their kids’ intelligence.  If teachers, IQ tests, and achievement tests all agree that a kid is an outlier, then the kid probably is an outlier.  [/quote]

 :roll: so, I guess I’m delusional, and FCPS just accelerated my kid for no reason.  I guess also, the WISC, CogAT, math achievement tests, and observations of the school math specialist are less valuable than the opinion of random idiots on dcum. [/quote]

What’s delusional is you thinking your kid is the one exception and everyone else is wrong. Don’t you see that everyone thinks that?![/quote]

At my kid’s school, he is in fact the one exception.  He is double grade skipped in math.  No one else is.  In fact, no one is even skipped ahead one grade.  In this case, other parents who think their kids are outliers in math are flat out wrong.  My kid, however, is defined by the school as an extreme outlier. Just because everyone thinks their kids are the exceptions doesn’t mean that there are no exceptions.  Why are you struggling so much to understand that?[/quote]

Double grade skipped? Does that mean he went to 4th grade aap in 3rd grade? Or 5th grade aap in 3rd grade (taking the math 6 sol)?

A month ago you claimed your ds was skipped one grade ahead in math. I’m confident it was you because of your writing style and choice of words to describe your ds’s achievement. I can see how you could consider aap math already accelerated so maybe that’s the confusion. But then I don’t know how you get algebra I in 5th. [/quote]

Whoever this person is, I think she has made clear in this thread that her 3rd grader was placed in 5th grade AAP math this year and next year as a 4th grader will take 6th grade AAP math. That puts the child on track for Algebra I in 5th grade. I don’t have a dog in this fight but I do think that qualifies as a legit outlier, at least as far as I’m concerned. [/quote]
