[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, and that is why the GBRS is filled out by a team of educators and not just by one person. As part of the application package, it helps to provide a more complete picture of a child, beyond simple test scores. It gives the committee a "look" at the individual child in class during the school day. The parent can provide similar information about the child at home with the parent questionnaire.[/quote]

My response was to the blanket statement about teachers being more qualified than parents to assess.  My only point is that that's not always the case and parent input is important.   Just as there are crappy doctors, lawyers...there are crappy teachers.  Also, the second grade teacher has the most input and provides the samples that the team of educators uses to make the determination.  If he/she provides negative feedback, being the one with the most contact with the child, no one will override him/her on the team.  But apparently the teams at your school work perfectly, if we all were so lucky.  [/quote]
