no, this is a fact. Come on. DOE published 1000 kids got over 97. That was very skewed. [ Reply | More

Almost 1000 out of ~50,000 dc who took the test. In an affluent, urban center like NYC that's really not so skewed. [ Reply | More

Anyway, there were equal number of 99ers, 98, and 97. There are supposed to be far more 97ers than 99ers. [ Reply | More

Parents only have their dc tested if their dc are bright enough to score high. No reason to bother with the testing unless you REALLY think you have a gifted/talented dc. [ Reply | More

Not really. 50,000 families thought their kids were all 95+? DOE said very early cutoff would be 95 which deterred some from even trying. Then they lowered the bar to 90. [ Reply | More
