[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent referral are not just work samples, there are spaces for parent to describe their children in the cover letter and questionnaires.  They can talk about the child's capacity for focus, curiosity and intelligence.  I know people say it can not be verified but I I am thinking reviewing teacher can see through the puffery.

For example I said my child has focus when he starts a new board game and would keep playing it for days until he figured out all the rules and tricks.  It's not genius level but at least it showed another aspect of the child that no test score and work sample can provide. [/quote]

I agree with this, but the concern is that if the powers that be want to get rid of it or simply disregard it in the name of equity, they will, and your insights will not be take seriously.

I put as many examples as I could fit in because I wasn't exactly sure what they were after. I'm sure there are some good nuggets in there that suggest my child would thrive in the AAP environment. However, what I'm not sure of is whether they will care at all. [/quote]

They've had that report since 2020. I know someone just posted it again so everyone's in a tizzy, but they've had years to implement things and all they've done is local norms and E3.[/quote]
