1.  Lucky you could afford the WISC., others cannot.

2.  Lucky you knew to take the WISC, others parents who are disadvantaged or language deficient may not know the process.

3.  Why did you cheat the system and buck the "natural" course of events through additional testing?  The teachers know best, if they give your child a low GBRS, then obviously the all knowing system deemed them not worthy.

Don't delude yourself.  YOU helped plenty.[/quote]

In fact great points!!  
That's just how much I can and am willing to do.
I thought if it requires extensive prepping for a kid to get into AAP, it's not worth it or rather not good for the kid.
The kid will be stressed and unhappy in AAP.
I let my kids go through sample test once at home, so that they are familiar with the types of questions.
If you want to blame me for cheating, go ahead.  That's just the way I'm.  
I would do it again and have my kids run through a sample test once.

Also more importantly, like you say I care about my kids education so that I got myself understand the AAP program and the process.
Spending $400 is the least I can do as a caring parent.

Totally disagree on the last point.  Teachers don't know the best.  They are not the subject matter experts.  
That's why there's the appeal process and WISC  score overturns GBRS.

The proof that I did the right thing and the teacher was wrong is that my kids are thriving and very happy in AAP with minimal guidance.
