[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ours has made very clear she has nothing to do with the decisions. [/quote] Oh they and the 2nd grade teachers like you to think that. And it's true that they don't sit on the panel which decides who from your particular school is in level IV/the full-time AAP program. [b][i]However[/i] they write the packet. They control what goes in it. They (2nd grade teacher, AART, both, or sometimes even a small committee) fill out the HOPE.[/b] You're crazy if you believe them that they have "nothing" to do with it. They have a ton to do with it. They just don't make that final call. And they very legitimately don't want angry parents pestering them.[/quote] My child's GBRS was filled in with quotes and information directly from my parent form. They had no original thoughts of their own about my daughter and just used the feedback I gave. They literally knew nothing about her. [/quote] Agree. The parent input is important, especially if you suspect the AART or second grade teacher does not know the kid well. And if they are overwhelmed with packets to complete. Unfortunately, now with the HOPE the teacher/AART have the option to include no comments at all. They just need to check a bunch of boxes that may or may not have anything to do with whether your child is advanced at school. [/quote] Some AARTs/2nd grade teachers might be swayed by the information a parent submits anyway. The parent part of the packet has real value.[/quote][/quote]
