Science says: never get rid of AAP

[Anonymous]

kids in DC's AAP class got in on appeals using private diagnosis.

No need to challenge this - it is true. it goes on everywhere. Widespread.

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

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 $$$.

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

I work at the school.

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

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

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.

Everyone knows it's true, but curious why some are trying to cover it up.

The voices in your head don't count as "everyone."

To be fair I think there’s at least 2… 3 maybe?… posters who cling to this idea… in addition to the voices.

Curious. But yes many get in through the back door. It's the dirty little secret they don't want people to know since admitting the game is rigged would reduce their prestige

Sounds like they should take away the appeal process.

Won't happen since too many white average kids gain admission through that door.

This is what makes this process a sham...

This thread has become unhinged with emotional people using a lot of words and not saying a thing.

Parents love being able to game admissions. Just look at how the recent changes to TJ upset those who had been buying test answers.

No it says the AAP admissions process is a sham with a side door entrance for parents with money and resources.

When faced with the evidence, many will just cling to whatever benefits them regardless of the facts.

You say this and offer no evidence. Your credibility is nothing.

You sound bitter. Did you expect to keep a lid on the 'side entrance' indefinitely?
