[quote=Anonymous][quote]Actually forget the GBRS. Just go by grades. MY DD had straight Os in Kindergarten and !st grade. Why test her? Why run a GBRS. Just put her in. There is areason why they look at many things not just one.

AAP is not a a pool restricted by maximum enrollment. They take in as many as are eligible. So PP, you should not worry about other kids because they are not the reason why your child was denied.

And if you believe the teachers were unfair in the GBRS then you should focus on the appeal. That is why an appeals process was set up. And more than half the appeals are successful. Good luck!

I think grades at this level can also be subjective....heck grades at any level are subjective.  I know one of my professors in the first year of grad school never graded my final....He put it on to of the file cabinet; he could not see it but I could.

As for appealing, be ready to make the best case.  For us, I was ready to have a full on evaluation to show that the test scores to not represent her "giftedness", but did not need to.

One other thing, AAP is not appropriate for all children, even smart ones.  I know one child (on my softball team) who is very smart, but would not be good in the GT environment...she feels the need to do everything perfectly and would drown under the effort.[/quote]
