[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a prospective AAP parent, a couple things seem to pop out at me from this thread:

1. 130 NNAT + 140 COGAT and you should be in

2. however we're not accounting for age-grading - a late September kid's score is different from a January birthday, or even a redshirted kid - so age graded percentiles should be a better indicator

3. GBRS is some bullshit that is based on your kids' teacher - how much they like to write on the reports, etc. - and your SES.  Let's face it, richer families have more money and time to donate to the schools.  Don't you think the teacher will know more about your little Suzy if you're in the cadre of families that always provides the holiday snack treats, or volunteers in the class, or replenishes the gluestick stockpile?  Unfortunate fact of life that's exacerbated by seeming over reliance on the GBRS.[/quote]

I am shocked at this comment... Freedome of speech: you can comment on the system, the process, etc but saying money will buy your best GBRS is Out Of Line. [/quote]

Let's say it's time and support more than money. It hasn't gone unnoticed that certain moms suddenly appear to help out in 2nd grade, sometimes even crowding out other folks in covering volunteer activities.  Again, am appreciative of all folks that volunteer - that's not my point. [/quote]
