[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] However, when we talked to DC's classroom teacher, she thinks DC is not motivated and self driven, and might have difficulty to fit in the challenging GT program. We were a bit surprised by the reserved if not negative comment the teacher made. [/quote]

I would not put much weight on the teacher's opinion, but I would express concern to the AAP coordinator that your child's teacher may not accurately describe your child in the GBRS. Many gifted students are not perceived positively by their teachers.[/quote]

Thanks for the advice, we will try to schedule a conference with the AAP coordinator.[/quote]

Another poster here.  FWIW, we tried to schedule a meeting with AAP coordinator and she will not meet.  We expressed this concern and she essentially blew us off.  She also told us they they only look at "objective" things, so not to bother with recommendations, work samples, etc. -- which is really weird to me because the GBRS (which is supposedly very important) is hugely subjective.  She told us the child's DRA is important, yet for kids that were in FCPS, they use the DRA score from last year and don't re-test this year.  What she said made little sense to me.[/quote]
