[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Np. What if the child has a very high GBRS but the comments don't support such a score?[/quote]

I felt our child didn't deserve a 16 and the comments didn't support a 16, but this child was in pool for both tests, so I'm not surprised the child got in. I think the GRBS should have been a bit lower but there was no reason to contest it.[/quote]

Thanks for your response. This is the case with my child as well. I just can't reconcile the high score with such weak and minimal comments. My child is also in pool based on test scores.[/quote]

I'm the pp you were responding to. What I was told through the grapevine was that teachers don't put as much effort into the comments for the kids who are in pool especially if they are in pool for both tests. They spend more time on the kids who didn't test well. This made sense to me.

Your "grapevine" is wrong.  My in pool kid had 4 pages of single spaced typed comments for her 16 GBRS.[/quote]

Yes, yes, we know, you're very proud of your four pages. You've posted it in several threads. Some schools don't seem to put as much effort into the commentary.  It doesn't mean the kids are less deserving. Granted, my in-pool DD only got a 14, but her commentary was about 12 comments, kind of like the person whose kid got an 8. It means nothing more than that the school/teacher didn't put much effort into it.  You can't really read the tea leaves in the GBRS commentary. It's the number that counts. [/quote]
