[quote=Anonymous]Teachers are not supposed to discuss GBRSs with parents or even AAP with parents. You put the Teacher in an awkward spot asking the question that you did.

Your child should not be upset that they were not accepted. You explain to your child that there are different classes for different kids that meet their needs and that the school thinks the class that he is going to be in is the best one for him. Your scores show that your kid is stronger in Math then LA and will probably land in Advanced Math.

The comments for the GBRSs are written to send a specific message, FO comments look very different then CO comments. DS had 3 COs and 1 FO, you could see the difference in the comments tones and specificity. The FO was not mean and was in many ways complementary but you could easily see how different the FO comments were from the CO comments. I get that your child had 4FOs so you could not see that but you knew that the FO was not the highest score so quoting those in your appeal letter was not a good decision. Especially since the reviewers were going to see the comments on the GBRS anyway.

Overall I would say that you need to chill out. AAP is not that big a deal. You can apply again next year. [/quote]
