[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] 21:17 - Well said. Glad to hear your advocacy for your kid and hopefully nudge this thread/forum in the right direction - folks make lots of judgments w/o any fact or limited perspective.[/quote]

Yes, 21:17 made her case.  She also made the case for why AAP as currently configured does not work.   One can only imagine how many smarter kids whose parents didn't/couldn't work the appeals system are still in GE not being challenged.  This is an inequitable program that needs to be rethought.  And I say that as a parent of an AAP kid and sibs who did fine in GE.  If the system is now set up to allow some kids of middling intelligence to be bused to a different school for advanced kids out of some perceived need, it is a broken inequitable system.

As a side note, there seem to be an increasing number of kids with "slow processing speed" being identified for advanced academics.  Given that the world often doesn't make allowances for those who are slow to arrive at answers, one wonders what the public school system -- with its b.s. extra time allowances for testing -- is setting these kids up for.
