[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A teacher stopped me in the hall and asked to speak to me. This is a teacher who sees all the kids at some point each week (specials teacher). She said she hopes I was applying for aap for one kid because he belonged in aap because of the connections he makes and questions he asks and then she gave me examples of what he says from a paper she had on her desk. This was my younger child. What’s funny is my older kid got a 16 gbrs and this one got a 15. Both got in. Both second grade teachers said the kids would be good candidates for aap. FWIW friends noted the teacher’s were more neutral when they asked if their kids would be good fits

 :roll: Sure.  Your kids are the most special snowflakes to grace an AAP classroom.  Regular people, however, shouldn't bother asking the teacher, since they will get a very neutral response.  [/quote]

Not at all...the teacher gave the same kid a 15...meaning the specials teacher saw more in the kid then the teacher herself.  Kids got in to the program that year when the teacher of those kids gave a very neutral response whether they should get in.  It's opaque usually.  My "16" gbrs kid wasn't seen as special to the teacher who teaches specials at the school but was seen as more "gifted" to the second grade teacher...

That was the point.[/quote]
