Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums THINKING BIG About Gifted Education Should programs be 4 high aptitude or achievement?

Should gifted programs be for kids who have:
(1) demonstrated high achievement
or
(2) tested with a high aptitude (IQ)
or
(3) limited to those who have shown BOTH high achievement AND tested with high aptitude?

What approach does you child's school use? What so you see are the pros / cons of the different approaches?
