[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because these people didn’t refer as they were confident their kids would be in pool now they are mad and have to wait until next year [/quote]

That is on the parents.

In-Pool was meant to capture the kids whose parents don’t know about AAP and would not have a clue how to refer. It is meant to be the top percentage of kids in the school, hence the 10% cut off for local norms. If parents knew about AAP and thought their kid belonged in AAP then they should have been doing the work for a parental referral. They were lazy, that is about it. They can apply next year, which is what they should have done it this year. [/quote]

So you’re saying the parent A that knows about AAP and has very intelligent children is “lazy” because the school raised the cutoff and they didn’t “self-refer”? Now because the school raised the cutoff they are now expected to do the school’s job next year?

But the school raised the cutoff only to help parent B that’s stupid and clueless about AAP and also happens to have less intelligent children than parent A. So parent B should just get an automatic push through of their not so smart children? Why? Are the clueless parents with less intelligent children considered lazy too?

Also what happens if parent A is also stupid and clueless? Can they get a stupid and clueless pass for their highly intelligent kid too? How’s that work if they’re too stupid and clueless to even know what a pass is?[/quote]
