There are plenty of schools where the parents are obsessed with AAP, look at the postings on this board. There are AARTs who give out packets before they are supposed to. There are AARTs that review packets for parents. There are AARTs who do all sorts of things that other AARTs won't do because they are in violation of FCPS rules.
Or like how some schools maintain regular LIII pullouts and others rarely hold them. Or how some schools have pullouts for LII and some schools do only worksheets and some schools do nothing.
The last paragraph is because schools have discretion with regard to how the aarts are used. Some use them so they do grade wide lessons. This way the art gets to know all kids and assess all kids. This is push ins. This helps those posters from saying that the art has no clue who her kid is.). The second way is to use them for pull outs. It helps those kids who may not do well on the nnat but still deserve some extra evaluation. This works when either the teacher self selects kids for pull outs or it’s based on nnat or cogat scores - or both (teacher identified kids + kids who score high). This helps those kids who easily stand out as bright but not the shy kids.
But this is not the same as telling kids to look at how to get practice on the types of questions before the nnat. That didn’t happen.
