[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Remember though that Fcps can do exActly what they want . Gifted services are not mandated-- only a local plan is.  If you look at the neighboring school districts, you'll see that Fcps can construct these services however they choose to and if that is changing the screening method, so be it. [/quote]

bingo. No one has a property right to AAP admission. [b]They used the same method for all the test takers. [/b] perfectly legal.[/quote]

No, they didn't , if the questions are not standardized for age. That's what we've been saying all along.[/quote]

there is absolutely jno federal state or local law that says tests for admission to public school AAP programs have to be age normed. 
Everybody eligible to take the test was treated exactly the same regardless of age.  No law against that. [/quote]

Maybe they should base admission on who can hold their breath the longest?  Or who can do the most jump rope reps?   Complete BS.  If they have a method, then explain it, make it transparent and supportable.  Make it equitable and consistent with national and established norms developed by clinical child psychologists and testing companies that have extensive experience in standardized testing practices.   Yes, they can do what they want, but when it is questionable it should be met with swift and hard push back from the constituents that are being served.  These people are nothing more than public servants that work for the taxpayers.   Any responsible board member whose constituent is wronged by the process should investigate the methods and rationale for the process and assure it is fair.  That is their job and what keeps this from becoming North Korea.[/quote]
