[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son got very good scores (NNAT-143, CogAt-129) yet still got rejected because his GBRS was very low(6). His teacher said he talked a lot and could not get school work completed, though she also admitted he did very well academically in math and reading. GBRS is very subjective because it is only based on his t eacher's opinion. All the other members in his local committe don't even have much interaction with my son. When we met his AAP teacher last week, she pulled out his files and said two work samples were not impressive. When we questioned why she didn't let us know before submitting the package, she avoided the question and said let's look forward. She kept saying she had 65 kids and couldn't look through each of them carefully. I don't think we've got support from the school. I'm waiting for my son's WISC score to make the appeal.

Sorry, PP!

I think your experience is not uncommon, though.  The AARTs seem to play favorites or they vary in quality greatly from one school to the next.[/quote]
