[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about when the teacher does not like your child and she screws up the GBRS score for your child ? How do you defend that your child who is absolutely deserving AAp is denied the opportunity because partially this falls on how the AART , the other teachers , local committee provide feedback, sample work etc. [/quote]

Yet another reason the process needs a revamp, requiring much higher cutoff scores and no subjective input from others.  You're in or you're not, based on your scores.  Right now, far too many parents are going to of course regard their kids as gifted and refer them.  This process needs to stop, and FCPS needs to take a good hard look at test scores to determine who is actually in need of a 'specialized' education.  AAP could easily be cut in half by raising the cutoff scores, and then we wouldn't need centers or hear about overcrowding, none of which is the fault of the Gen Ed kids.  FCPS has created this monster and now they need to rein it in.[/quote]
