[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A PP on a different thread said that teachers from one school will look at all the kids from a different school and accept them based solely on their comparison to other kids at the same school. Is this really true? I thought the applications were blind.[/quote] I was that poster. I said it because our AART said it in the presentation on the full-time AAP program given to parents in late fall. And as a different PP said, committees don't look at their own school. They look at [i]all[/i] the kids fro another school together. The emphasis on comparing like with like seemed new this year (have older kids in AAP so I've been through this a couple times and I was sitting in the presentation with parents whose kids are as old as high school). This new emphasis seems like a natural progression from the local norming they starting for the pool in 2021.[/quote]
