[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]3 Occasionally + 1 Frequently is a very low GBRS.  It's like getting a 6 or 7 in the old system.  The teacher is strongly saying that your child doesn't belong in AAP.  Get a WISC and hope for a high score, because I don't think anything else could overcome that GBRS.  [/quote]

That GBRS seems low - isn’t O the lowest rating and F the middle rating? Agree it cones out to like a 7 on the old scale where maybe a 12+ was solid/high. [/quote]

Since this is my first kid, I am trying to figure out by asking others. Seems like my kid has been definitely sidelined looking at the GBRS. The montessori school folks, and after school folks told us on multiple occasions that our kid is pretty smart. But, yes GBRS is what seem to be the problem. I still cannot fathom that the teachers commentary to the GBRS doesn't tally and how did they do it? Anyways, I hope WISC (if taken) and new recommendations in the appeal might do it.[/quote]

Ok, I think this is what you are confused about a little. ALL comments on the teacher form will be positive. They don’t put negative comments on there. But the rating is very, very low. Did your dd go classes or prepare for the tests? [/quote]

My kid definitely prepared to some extent for the tests. We talked about what kind of tests will take place and groomed. However like I indicated, comments from the teacher do not sum up the GBRS. I do understand that no teacher would like to put in comments that are negative. I am planning to appeal with WISC. Thats the best I could think of. Hope this will be a good choice for the kid if placed in AAP.[/quote]
