AAP Appeal Results Thread (now that decisions are out)

And lots of gifted kids don’t show gifted behaviors. Doesn’t mean the kid isn’t gifted but perhaps doesn’t display it at school.

PP who appealed. I didn't want to say this, but yeah. This.

Our school also has one annual goal, reducing the performance gap for black children. We have a small black population like 5 percent, so this might play a role. My kid was performing well on the i-ready and I imagine they saw a compliant, good student who they could use for that purpose. I don't think that fair since my child has a right to an education based on her own needs and a right to access whatever services she's entitled to that is offered by the county. I sniffed that out in my conversations with people at the school, but it's a good reminder to black or latino parents. We have to be super careful.

Another fun, awesome thing about the black experience in America. Sigh.

And for those kids, a low GBRS just accurately reflects behaviors aren’t seen at school. I think that is fine as one piece of information and don’t consider it a kiss of death, as opposed to instances where it is artificially low such as in cases of intentional or inadvertent bias.
