[quote=Anonymous]I think the questionnaire and work samples from home could serve 3 main purposes:
-Your school's AAP committee definitely will look at them, and it might inform their decisions for GBRS scores and statements.  This is especially true if you have a part time AART who barely knows your child.

-There might be something in one of them that resonates with someone on the central panel.  It's totally dumb, but the AART at my school suggested including all of that, because you never know what little thing might stick out to the panel members evaluating your child.

-It shows that you really, really want your kid in AAP and will either complain at school board meetings or keep applying every year.  If your kid is borderline and seems okay enough for AAP, they're more likely to let your kid in now rather than deal with the repeat applications or the headache of an angry parent.

All of these things are biased toward educated, wealthier parents, and the whole process still is absurd.  [/quote]
