Incorrect. It's an application system, with an equal application across SES. If anything, now with lowered standards for struggling schools, there's a greater chance of diversity in the program.

which requires parents to often file complex appeals and pay for expensive private diagnostics to ensure their children are admitted...

yes AAP is mostly for UMC families who have the $$$ to get their child placed

Did you expect anything different? People like systems they can rig.

It's well past time to retire that old trope

But it's so true ...

So, lay out some facts to support your case.

Half the kids in DC's AAP class got in on appeals using private diagnosis. They were unable to get in the front door. This system seems rigged to favor people with $$$.

And how do you know that half of your child’s class got in on appeals with a “private diagnosis”? Did you personally poll each parent? Did the school release this information to you? Did the school also define “private diagnosis?” I’m very curious to know. You’re making some pretty specific claims here. Now it’s time to show your cards and back those claims up with some facts or evidence.

Not sure how you could possibly know this. Have seen/heard no evidence that this is the case in DC’s class.

So, you're snooping through student records and sharing your findings on a public forum. You sound like a stellar employee - someone your principal and colleagues could really trust...

Or you’re just lying. Kids getting in on appeals are relatively rare. Each AAP classroom only has a few. There is no AAP class where half or anything close to half of the kids got in on appeals

+1

There has to be a compelling reason or new evidence to cause the committee to reverse its original decision.

Many who get in through the 'side door' on bogus score appeal do not share that information.

At my school it's roughly half the kids.

You're so full of shit. There aren't many kids anywhere getting in on appeals. There certainly aren't many getting bogus scores, as very few psychologists would risk their license by giving fake WISC scores.
They also aren't letting kids in simply because the kid has a high test score. The AAP selection committees are largely discounting the WISC these days. Stop lying on so many of these threads.

I work at one of the most highly regarded AAP centers and I can tell you that its much higher than you might think.

Maybe if you say it enough times it'll come true?
