[quote=Anonymous]This string of posts crystallizes for me the problem with the selection system. Now, let me preface this by saying I really believe Fairfax is doing the best they can within their budget (which does not allow for WISCing all the 2nd graders). How many times have we heard this scenario? Middle-of-the-road county scores (120's or lower); then the teachers assigns a low-ish GBRS (supposed to be based on classroom observation only, but hey, teachers are human, they see that the scores were low, and that colors the GBRS analysis). Rejection first round. Then the WISC, which is the gold standard of reliability. Often this kid will score 130 plus. My point is this: The county administered test and GBRS are missing a whole lot of kids that belong in AAP. The parents with the means and wherewithall get the WISC, the other kids simply miss out.[/quote]
