[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You take some steps back and try to accept your kid for who she or he is and enjoy your child and do what is best for your child NOT your EGO. You get some perspective. You understand a kid can be bright, but may be better suited for General ed than AAP. You get over yourself.[/quote]

My child has a 140 IQ. So no, my kid is more than bright and not better suited for Gen Ed. So you can get over youself. [/quote]

DP. You sounds insufferable. There is a reason your super high IQ kid was rejected, look into the mirror, maybe you are the problem? Maybe smart baby learns differently, maybe your kid makes no effort? Maybe other kids have IQ of 150? Did you ask every single kid what their IQ is? Maybe you pissed off somebody? This sounds like the most likely scenario.[/quote]

Or maybe like many gifted kids he/she didn't act like the way non gifted trained people expect gifted kids to act, so he was over looked. An appeal committee should identify him/her. PP a child with a 140 IQ belongs in AAP regardless of what people think of the parent. You don't reject children who need special services  because of a parent. Would a school deny a dyslexic reading help because they didn't like the mom? People on here are dumb? Gifted children, truly gifted need special services but on the other end of the spectrum. My child got in and has a IQ of 138 so I know the idea of them being in GE is absurd. Did the AAP committee know you child had a 140 IQ on the first round? If not, you should get in on appeal.

The OP was asking about next steps after appeal is denied - so that would be original rejection plus a more in-depth look into the student and yet another decision where they believe kid isn’t a top candidate after a more thorough review. At some point as a parent you need to take a step back and try to look objectively at your kid and situation.  Maybe kid doesn’t put it enough effort, maybe their aptitude isn’t where the program focuses. IQ is not an end all be all evaluation - especially if it’s one test by a psychologist vs a school committee reviewing their scores and grades and motivation over time.[/quote]
