Also, [b]fwiw, "kid rolling on the floor" could be in AAP[/b], that's not an indication of "smarter" or "not smarter".  [/quote]

PP here, this is misleading.  A kid with behavioral problems is less likely to get a good teacher's GBRS/HOPE to be admitted into AAP.  Is it possible, sure, but is it likely, no.

What's wrong with compare AAP to travel sports first team?  I thought it's a straight forward analogy.

Some teachers will give kids with behavioral problems good GBRS/HOPE to get them out of the school and into the center.  Other teachers just give accurate GBRS/HOPE without an ulterior motive, and behavioral problems are not an indication of low or high IQ.

[b]What's wrong with comparison of AAP to travel sports? [/b] That's not a bad analogy but then you ended by saying it's not about who is smarter. If you tell your kid that, they won't believe you.[/quote]

In sports you have to earn your position every year in tryouts and coaches will cut kids they are mistaken about. For LIV, once you are in you are in no matter how wrong the committee got it. [b]Not having to do the work to stay in advanced math anymore was a huge selling point of LIV for our kid[/b] [/quote]

No, troll, that's not a thing.  SMH[/quote]

It actually is a thing. Committee placed kids are entitled to LIV services including advanced math. Those services can only be withdrawn with parental consent no matter how poorly the kid is performing. Push in kids have to earn their spaces and their presence in the class is contingent on their being space regardless of their scores or ability [/quote]

No.  Doing poorly in math is no selling point for any kid - and kids in LIV are competitive, they are the last kids who happily skate.  Unhappily, maybe, but not happily.  [/quote]
