[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Inwillsubmit a parent letter this time[/b].. last time we did not submit any letter (just the questionnaire and referral form).we did not know we could even submit a cover letter, but this we were told by his teacher to explain how he can eup with those samples (situation) and what made him think like that[/quote]

Based on your posts, I'm not sure that's going to have the desired effect.  [/quote]

This. You don’t see your child clearly. You just don’t. I’m a former teacher. I was once hounded by a parent asking me to write a letter of recommendation for a former student (after I’d stopped teaching). The parent sounded just like you:  send me a computer file of a song the child wrote, composed and sang. It was awful. Told me how the child was doing this or that amazing thing - in The Nutcracker at the Kennedy Center, was bored at school, would make up problems and could do math beyond her years. She told me the current second grade teacher said the kid belonged in aap. I didn’t write the letter because not only would I not do it for anyone as a former teacher in the county, but I personally didn’t think this child was gifted from my interactions with her. Last year I ran into the second grade teacher at a meeting and she said she did not tell the family the child belonged in the program. She said she encouraged them to apply and correctly wrote positive gbrs comments but that she said she never told them their child was gifted, smarter than others, etc. [/quote]
