Is Your Child Gifted?

The new rules may say so..

Under a change which is expected to be approved at a meeting on Thursday by the Panel for Educational Policy, students scoring in the top 10th percentile on admissions tests, as measured nationwide, would be guaranteed a slot in kindergarten or first-grade gifted and talented programs in New York. Under new rules announced last fall, however, only those scoring in the top 5th percentile would have been admitted.

So fellow New Yorkers, make sure your little kiddies are prepared for the test.
