Is there something wrong with my old school district's gifted and talented program's means of identifying gifted and talented students when its students had to resort to cheating and toxicity to get the grades and accomplishments that they want? For instance, the valedictorian had to resort to help from other students to get higher grades on tests by asking them what will be the test questions and how to answer them and such, making her life a lot easier while also getting admission into Yale. I assume that she did this all the time throughout all her years at the high school. I would estimate her IQ to be in the 110-125 range, which is obviously not gifted.
What is going on here? They use the CogAT and the Torrance tests of creative, and I didn't get in the program possibly due to low scores. I don't remember what happened, and I think it was because of the horrid teacher recommendation that I didn't get in.
