[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The list is kind of crazy. My child is crazy smart and exhibits all of that home,[b] but is also very shy and is unlikely to exhibit those qualities in school[/b].[/quote] I feel so bad for kids like this under HOPE. My current second grader [i]should[/i], by my naive reading of the scale, do great because she's an extreme extrovert who loves hanging out with adults and older kids because she's a youngest child. My older kids who have thrived in AAP and are quite strong academically would both have done horrible by the HOPE scale. I understand the whole thing is theoretically about equity and pulling in kids from underserved populations, but it reads like it's going to grab outgoing kids over smart kids. I'm assuming AARTs and second grade teachers are going to work around the scale to try and recommend the same kids they would have under GBRS, because that seems like the right thing to do.[/quote]
