It’s segregation. [/quote]

Incorrect. It's an application system, with an equal application across SES. If anything, now with lowered standards for struggling schools, there's a greater chance of diversity in the program.[/quote]

which requires parents to often file complex appeals and pay for expensive private diagnostics to ensure their children are admitted...[/quote]

yes AAP is mostly for UMC families who have the $$$ to get their child placed[/quote]

It's well past time to retire that old trope[/quote]

But it's so true ...[/quote]

So, lay out some facts to support your case.[/quote]

Half the kids in DC's AAP class got in on appeals using private diagnosis. They were unable to get in the front door. This system seems rigged to favor people with $$$.[/quote]

Not sure how you could possibly know this. Have seen/heard no evidence that this is the case in DC’s class.

I work at the school.[/quote]
Or you’re just lying.  Kids getting in on appeals are relatively rare.  Each AAP classroom only has a few.  There is no AAP class where half or anything close to half of the kids got in on appeals[/quote]

Many who get in through the 'side door' on bogus score appeal do not share that information.[/quote]

You're so full of shit.  There aren't many kids anywhere getting in on appeals.  There certainly aren't many getting bogus scores, as very few psychologists would risk their license by giving fake WISC scores. 
 They also aren't letting kids in simply because the kid has a high test score.  The AAP selection committees are largely discounting the WISC these days.  Stop lying on so many of these threads.[/quote]

I work at one of the most highly regarded AAP centers and I can tell you that its much higher than  you might think.[/quote]

Everyone knows it's true, but curious why some are trying to cover it up.[/quote]

The voices in your head don't count as "everyone."  [/quote]
