[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolutely do not expect that the school/principal/AART/teacher care one iota about your child going to AAP! In fact, it has been my experience that they actively discourage parents from applying and kids from going. [/quote] My kid was in the above grade level groups in both math and reading in 2nd grade, and had been receiving Level II for each of these subject since K. She had a K GBRS of 15 and a 1st grade GBRS of 16 (unknown to me until after the fact). I still didn't hear anything at all from the school or teacher urging referral to AAP, other than the generic statements to everyone at the info session that if you believe your child belongs in AAP, do a referral. Don't expect the school or teacher to hold your hand with this. For the most part, even if they think your child would be an excellent fit in AAP, they're not going to say anything to you. [/quote]
