[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weird, our schools Teachers refused to discuss AAP with parents, they said they were not allowed to. The closest we had was a Teacher saying that they knew DS would be placed in Advanced Math but that is a school placement so it was ok to discuss. I am amazed that so many people have Teachers willing to say that they think that kids belong in AAP or not.[/quote]

'not allowed' is sometimes code for mediocre or bad GBRS. I'm friends with other moms with DDs in the same class, and our collectuve teacher conferences have had different vibes for AAP- bound kids v. GenEd- bound v. On-the-fence kids.

My kid received 3 CO and 1 FO on his GBRSs and was in on the first round.

Teachers are instructed, across the County, to not discuss AAP eligibility with parents. Some schools enforce that, like mine, and some schools ignore that. The Teachers at our schools politely tell people the County policy and parents have learned to mention it once and then never again. It saves the Teachers the headache of having to have the AAP conversation with Parents. It also means that Teachers don’t have to answer why they gave scores that they gave and why your child should have gotten in when they didn’t and all sorts of other fun conversations reported here.

AARTs are told not to give out copies of packets until a [b]certain time[/b], some ignore that policy. The inconsistencies cause issues across the County. Some parents get frustrated with their schools toeing the line. Some parents abuse the AARTs and Teachers who don’t toe the line.

Some parents are far to invested in this program.

What is this "certain time".

I think that they are not supposed to distribute packets until after the committee has met? That is normally before the letters are sent home regarding acceptance or not. I know some AARTs give them to parents once the packets have been sent to the committee but I believe that is before when they are supposed to give them out. The idea is that parents should not get the packets until after the decision has been made so that the parents cannot badger the AART regarding the GBRSs/HOPE scores.[/quote]
