[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone should just trust the system.  Why can't you accept the word of the trained professionals. The OP thinks she knows better than the teacher who has no bias.[/quote]

OP's story is a perfect example of why the teachers cannot be trusted. OP not only trusted "the system," the worked within it to place her children thoughtfully and appropriately. Thank you for sharing.

FWIW, my oldest had 130 scores and a 10 GBRS, but above grade level in everything and a truly curious child who loves to learn. I did not appeal, following teacher's advice, even though I knew he could get in based on our WISC. But he was my first and I thought I should listen to teachers. It was terrible advice and GE has been pathetic and lame and the child absolutely HATES school. My second is like OPs third. I know that he is totally slightly-above-average, but he is organized and a people-pleaser and he got in first round. He is not a kid who "needs" AAP but does he "deserve" it? Well as much as all the other slightly above average kids in AAP and of course he is doing fine.[/quote]
