[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is a gifted ‘diagnosis’? Is it a disease? Or are you talking about an attention deficit diagnosis to be 2E? I can’t get past the high level of snark to even understand what you’re being snarky about… [/quote]

It's when you pay a psychologist to test your child until you get the desired diagnosis. This allows you to appeal with evidence stating your child is in fact gifted so they will be admitted to AAP even though they weren't able to get in the front door.[/quote]

I find your back door comments insensitive. My child had 160 NNAT and  143 COGAT, in pool for AAP. Currently in 2nd grade. She had a full academic/neuro evaluation in December after being on the waiting list for 1+ year. Yes, she is 2e, she has 136 IQ, ADHD and dyslexia. I didn’t buy this diagnosis, it is very real. I see the struggles every day, but doesn’t mean she is not deserving of an AAP education. I don’t know if she is in, but you bet I will be appealing if she doesn’t.  Is that a back door? Her tests scores say otherwise. Who are you to say these kids are not deserving because they got accepted on appeal? [/quote]

Ignore the poster who claims everyone gets in via some mythological purchased diagnosis. He's unhinged.[/quote]

I know! Almost half the kids in our center got in the old-fashioned way and didn't need use the backdoor![/quote]

I'm just intrigued at the psychology behind *why* you are so invested on repeatedly trolling multiple threads with the same nonsense.[/quote]

I get the impression they're telling it like it is. Sure, some people would rather hide the backdoor but the cat's out of the bag.[/quote]

Not anymore.  Legit or not, the school district no longer allows it.[/quote]

The only changes put an end to the widespread cheating on the TJ exam. There haven't been any reforms with AAP admission. It's the same as ever.[/quote]

It's very different.  The pool is all local, Cogat and NNAT are no longer important, WISC is disregarded.  The "backdoor" is gone.[/quote]
