[quote=Anonymous]I see that pp's post would be reassuring to the op, but many of the rest of us may find it discouraging. I don't understand why a child who scores significantly below the median on all sections of the exam should be admitted. What exactly is the difference between a child with learning disabilities who scores below the mean and a child who simply scores below the mean? Wouldn't every child probably benefit from being at the magnet? I'm not saying GT/LD status does not exist, but with extra time and a lower score required for admission, many of the 5th graders I know could get into and succeed at a magnet. How would any of their parents know if they have a learning disability or not if they aren't willing or able to pay for private testing?[/quote]
