[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

The clueless parents of intelligent kids should be saved by their kid being in-pool. If their kid is not in the top 10% of their school AND the parents are not paying attention to the emails, flyers sent home, and AART telling people to apply because of how the pool works then that is on them.

The kids who are at the higher test score schools tend to have parents who are hyper focused on school and applying any way. If the parent doesn’t and realizes it late then they can apply next year. Missing a year of AAP is not going to hurt a kid. [b]News flash, missing all of AAP is not going to hurt a kid.[/b] [/quote]

In fact, missing a year of school is not going to hurt a kid.  Why even have public school at all?[/quote]
