[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most AARTs work part time, and meet once a month with each classroom for level 1 enrichment. The 2nd grade teachers identifies some kids for advanced work and the aart pulls them out once a week, usually for math (level 2)

Unless your kid is one identified for level 2 work, the aart will only have a cursory idea who they are, and the [b]gbrs will likely be all 8[/b], with some random writing sample.

Teachers are human, and their time is finite. Unless the 2nd grade teacher has identified a kid for level 2 services, or they are looking at some great scores, chances are they will spend a limited amount of time on each kid.

How do kids get identified for level 2 work? Usually they are the kids who have already mastered 2nd grade math in the beginning of the year.

Problem is, there are no individualized services for K and 1 st grade, so advancing ahead in math depends on after school programs like Kumon -- even when you start out with a kindergartner well ahead of his peers.

[b]If your kid is the one who is tired after 7 hours of school and balks at extra math (and homework) after school, you will simply fall through the gbrs cracks, even with a smart kid.[/quote][/b]

My kid is lazy, won't do any homework, and has never (to my knowledge) been pulled out for extra time with the AART.  GBRS 12, accepted into AAP.[/quote]

Wont do any homework at all (or without prodding from PP?). If not submitting any homework I don't belivey he's accepted and gets 12 GBRS. I don't believe it.[/quote]
