| Do you think that most of the kids you placed in AAP are gifted rather than just being bright? Did any parents suck up to you to try to get placement for their kids? |

If a parent thinks their kid could benefit from AAP - is that something you want them to bring up respectfully at a parent teacher conference, or is that just seen as pushy and annoying and only going to impact the student negatively?
How much are new teachers told about recommending students for AAP? Does the administration instruct them to evaluate all their students or is it only something they do if they've been around and they already know they're supposed to fill out paperwork for kids they think are gifted? |

What training or background knowledge do you have to be able to identify if a child is gifted? And if so, explain what you see as the difference between a high-achieving student and a gifted student.
Do you truly believe so many students in a class can be gifted? How many of the students you placed into AAP were from underserved populations? |

These days they basically do. GBRS is King. By a mile. Perfect GBRS and the kid is good as in. |

| Bless your heart, and how do you deal with all the rabid AAP parents? What is the nuttiest thing a parent has ever said/done to you in service to getting their kid into AAP? |

| I would have liked to know what looks different from this POV this year, between virtual and proposed plus partially enacted changes to the process. |

GBRS is done by a committee, not one person. |

| OP here. GBRS is what the teacher wants it to be. Can be raised by committee but not often lowered... |
