I feel with 95 percent certainty he would be in the pool after the cogat and get in without my referral based on aap teacher and 2nd grade teacher feedback. Yet, now I will be obsessing over the referral like everyone else.

And not only that, but if I had a child I wasn't sure about I'd also do the packet because what if the cogat surprised me? I bet if they had the cogat released earlier the referrals would go down.

I'm curious what the teachers said to you that makes you feel so certain. I never had any communications w/the AART about my kids.

Not PP - but I communicate with the AART regularly and she says things alluding to how she thinks DS should be in AAP, as does his teacher. Both had pushed me to parent refer. His NNAT was 129. So not in pool. Don't know CogAT yet of course. I suspect he will have a decent GBRS.

Don't count on it. My son's 2nd grade teacher also brought up AAP to us and she referred him for pull outs by the AART. She also gave him a GBRS of 7.

This. There are lots of people on these boards who are upset in the spring when they learn their kids weren't admitted because they, in part, based their high hopes on what the teacher said. There are also lots of posters whose kids get in who also got the positive feedback from school personnel...I'm just saying don't get too high of hopes based on what the school said.

+1. If parents stalk the teacher and AART for info, and put them in bad position, where it is hard to say no, it is much easier for them to tell you what you want to hear than deal with the fallout. By the time you get denied, the school yer is almost over.

We had a 2nd grade teacher tell us at our fall PT conference, out of the blue, (without us raising) the issue that DC really needed to be in AAP. She pointed to very specific things that made her believe this. This is different than a teacher saying yes when you put them on the spot. Some teachers just don't want the conflict. This happened to several parents in DC's grade who bragged about the teacher saying their kid should be in AAP. The next year, those kids were in GE.

His getting derailed from the point I was making. All I was saying if cogat gets back earlier and parents see both scores low, they may not refer. But as it is almost every parent I know refers because cogat may be higher
