[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]12:34 - I am not against the GBRS, but I think most of us in the forum agree that it is subjective and 2 kids of exactly same profile could get different GBRS if they had different teachers. When my wife spoke the my DD's teacher before the appeal about the low GBRS, she was told that the teacher had specific guidelines to set the bar very high this year (compared to prior years). Also I think most base schools that have a level III pull out have a hidden agenda to retain good students so why would they not use the GBRS as the way to do that. I think the base schools do benefit monetarily and academically by keeping good students. [/quote]

Not the person you are referring to, but I think that you are insanely paranoid.  I don't buy the argument that your kid (and not YOUR kid since I don't know you, but anyone who uses the excuse) is being kept back because the base school wants to fill their Level III spots and improve their SOL scores. They could just start their own Level IV program like a lot of other schools have done.  GBRS could use a more uniform system, perhaps, but it is an excellent tool for locating and highlighting children who might need the extra involvement that AAP gives.  Better than a test that can be prepared for and studied for.  [/quote]
