[quote=Anonymous][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.  [b]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.[/b]  [/quote]

So twice exceptional students should not have their needs met in the classroom because you state it is b.s.?!?[/quote]
