[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello Dear community parents:
I received a Hope Packet from my son school and it does not have good rating.
Teacher marked on all questions never and only in Math question sometimes. This is so frustrating for me as a parent. [b]Should I discuss with principle about it or should I talk to class teacher about it?[/b][/quote]

I would not discuss with either unless you want to be [i]that[/i] parent. The number one thing teachers HATE is the "why didn't my kid get into AAP" conversation. So much so that most of them will warn parents in advance that they have "no" control over the process (by which they mean that they aren't on the selection committee that reviews your kids' packet, conveniently glossing over their role in HOPE). Also at least at my kids' school - but not everywhere - HOPE is done by committee. The 2nd grade teacher, 1st grade teacher, and AART all weigh in. So it would really be a misplaced complaint.

[i]If anything[/i] I would ask your school's AART to review your appeal to make sure it is as strong as possible. Our AART was very up-front with parents that she would review packets, and she was actually pretty helpful about identifying the kinds of things the committee might like to see.[/quote]

Interesting! Our AART refuses to provide an guidance what so ever. Won't help choose work examples, won't discuss ANYTHING.  ugh.  This is so hard the process is so confusing.  I believe in my kid, what do I need to do put the best foot forward is all I ask. We get no guidance AT ALL.  Except here is the paper work you need to submit.  Like never mentions WISC. This is first I am hearing of it on here.  [/quote]

Same, and in my opinion, if your kid didn't get in the first time with AART guidance, why would you want your AART as part of the appeal process? I certainly wouldn't want her touching the appeal. Very happy appealing straight to the committee without useless AART's "knowledge".[/quote]
