[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love how some person concludes that this study equates to not getting rid of AAP in spite of the fact it mostly just caters to higher SES families and ignores many who are equally deserving but without the means to work the system.[/quote]

I’m not sure where you get that. The study finds that for math, you should group like with like skill levels. [/quote]

Yes, but when most of the kids in the advanced track are only there because their parents bought a gifted diagnosis after 3 appeals it isn't all that meaningful.[/quote]

Right, except that's not what's happening lol[/quote]

Except in the many cases where it is...[/quote]

I doubt it is many cases. There are not that many interested in AAP that they are paying for 3 different evaluations. The WiSC is around $500. A nuero-psyche evaluation runs between $3,000-$5,000. You really believe that many people are paying either $1,500, probably more if they are paying someone to lie about the results, for a bogus WiSC or they are paying for a bogus WiSC and nuero-pyche evaluation to be labeled 2E and to have serious enough issues that the child gets an IEP.

Maybe a few people are that strangely desperate but I doubt it is that large of a number. [/quote]
