[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What packet are you talking about? My DS1 is in 5th grade, so my info might be outdated, but in the middle of January we received the Cogat score with the notification that he was in the pool. The school sent an email early January that said everyone with a NNAT or Cogat of over 132 is in the pool. We didn't get the documentation the school sent to the county until the end of the 3rd grade.
If your child is not in the pool, I'd definitely schedule the WISC.  [/quote]

The packet is for parents who referred, so butt out. You obviously don’t know a thing about it.[/quote]

The packet is for everyone. The packet includes GBRS and work samples for all kids who are being considered for AAP, this includes kid who are in the pool and kids who are parent referred. The difference is that the teachers have to provide GBRSs and work samples for kids in the pool automatically.

So kids who are in pool have packets, some of them will not be accepted because of low GBRSs or poor work samples or both. [/quote]

But then how do you explain the ignorance of the previous poster? She says, “what packet”? The reason she doesn’t know is Bc her kid was automatically in the pool and she obviously didn’t put together one. Smh.[/quote]

Er ... ignorance?  SMH[/quote]

So, how does me telling her to butt out when she is ignorant make me an a—hole?[/quote]

Who knows why the parent was not aware of packets for their kid. Maybe they did not know about the process until their kid was accepted. Maybe they did and they were not that worried if their kid was in AAP or not. Maybe they would have looked into it if their kid had not been accepted. Whatever the reason, the parent is clearly far less high strung then many posters on these boards.

It is not considered polite to tell people to butt out, that is rude. I get that the poster had a different experience then you did but there is no reason to be rude. You could simply ignore their post. It is not hard to do.

Your tone in your posts has been off putting. To be frank, you are the poster that makes people shake their head at parents of AAP kids. You are so stressed over if your 7 or 8 year old is accepted into a program that you are biting peoples heads off on a message board. You are probably driving your AART rep crazy. I don't know if you are the poster who has posted in several threads trying to find out what schools AART teachers have given packets early or not but I wouldn't be surprised to find out that you are.

Just relax. Take a few deep breaths. Your child is likely to be fine regardless of what school they end up at. The world doesn't end if your kid ends up in a gen ed.

You are working yourself up into a tizzy over a not yet made decision about a program for your 7-8 year old child. Chill.[/quote]
