[quote=Anonymous]I was quite frankly appalled at what was written for my daughter's GBRS. Who writes these? Are these written at the sole discretion of the classroom teacher? 
The school keeps touting the central committee and the decision is not in the school's hands. But if they submitted a bad GBRS and silly work samples ( 1 was decent but some were so basic no gifted kid could make it good), they completely control this. I don't buy the central committee argument. Yes there is a committee but a crappy submission by the school, won't win anyone over. Scores, grades and my referral were excellent. AART program doesn't seem to allow 1 on 1 meetings with parents.

I read somewhere the principal, AART teacher and regular teacher decide the GBRS. This would bother me. My daughter said the interaction with AART is hard because she raises her hand and doesn't get chosen. Principal has formed an impression of my kid based on comments made to me that I could see being very one sided (single treacher or administrator can't get to know 100's of kids).

Her actual teacher loves her. I don't think these GBRS would have happened had she been able to do them on her own and not by committee. But I'm willing to be told I'm wrong :)
