[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A few years back, there was an FCPS report about AAP that suggested that the school system only use GMU for WISC scores for AAP applications. It seemed like a good way to discourage "score shopping" and to give some more consistency to the weight of the scores submitted.

What ever happened to that proposal?

In a similar vein, it seems that FCPS pretty much discards a GBRS from anyone outside of FCPS, from a private school or a different district.  Whether high or low, they seem to just ignore it.  [/quote]

As they probably should. What validity is there? FCPS hasn't trained them like it has trained their AARTs to run the screening committee. You have no idea what the qualifications for the private school teachers are since they are not required to be certified by the state of Virginia. I'm not saying that having a teaching license from the state of Virginia guarantees that every single teacher is amazing. But there is a guarantee that all the teachers in FCPS contributing to a GBRS have had the same expectations for licensure, education, trainings, etc.[/quote]
