[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]12:31 , and forgot to add that my DC is already in AAP maths and then the teacher gives a GBRS 6 that is an insult.[/quote]

Instead of thinking of it as an insult, why don't you read the GBRS and maybe look at your child thru the eyes of the teacher.  last year DC got a GBRS of 9.  Was accepted in the first round, but it made me think about how the teachers saw his abilities.  You can see that even kids with a 13 or 14 GBRS can get rejected because that GBRS doesn't match with either the test scores or report card.  [/quote]
If he did not have the ability he would not be in AAP maths when I spoke to his teacher she actually said to me it was not his academic abilities that scored him such a low GBRS but his work habits for which he gets Gs in his report card, so is the AA(academic)P not about about academic abilities?[/quote]

aap is more than just math[/quote]
Understand that but his COGAT 134 and NNAT160, G's and O's on report
[/quote]

what were his cogat subscores? [/quote]
Verb 120, Quant 125, Non verbal 148[/quote]

I don't know if this will help you, but my DC had similar scores and was rejected out of the pool in second grade.  We got a WISC (which was 129 GAI with huge discrepancies in processing speed and working memory compared to everything else).  We wrote a letter explaining how the current school was unable to meet her needs.  We explained how we had talked to the AART, who said she wouldn't even qualify for Level III services, which didn't make sense to us and that her base school had nothing to take advantage of the perfect score she had receive din nonverbal -- in addition to similar scores on comparable parts of the WISC (her scores in the tother areas were higher on the WISC than the CogAt, which may have helped).  She got in on appeal and is doing great in AAP.  She has definite weaknesses but they haven't held her bad at all in AAP.  In fact, the AAP teachers seem to know how to capitalize on her strengths in a way that her base school did not.  She had a GBRS of 12, but I really think her teachers thought she was stupid.  She was a very "average" student.  She has done so much better in AAP.  I shudder to think how this would have gone her her had she stayed in the base school.[/quote]
