[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]shouldn't be, perhaps. But it is what it is. Sorry, I don't see how that is snotty. I mean what would all the for-profit testers do if people couldn't submit a WISC after their kids bombed the CigAT and GBRS?   Have you no heart?[/quote]

oops. CogAt[/quote]

Arguments could go both ways on this and I guess the county is fair enough to realize both sides. GBRS is pure subjective measurement on how the teacher feels about your child at the end of the day. yes I know it is "supposed" to be fair and pure academic but [b]one could argue most of those kids whose mom "volunteered" get high GBRS vs. those working moms who could never meet with the teacher except for parent teacher conference.[/b] Specially, when your child is bright and doing good the chances are you never meet the teacher except for that one time meeting one month into the school year. So low GBRS AND high WISC IQ score is the result. What is fair, IMO, is how much you are willing to fight for it![/quote]

Excellent point![/quote]

What a paranoid piece of nonsense!  GBRS has nothing to do with whether a parent volunteers, though I'm sure some people use this belief to delude themselves as to why their children weren't identified as gifted.[/quote]

[b]I take it your snowflake got in with a good GBRS, right? [/b][/quote]

To this day I have no idea what my child's GBRS was, though it could have been low given how introverted he is.  I had nothing to do with him getting in which was primarily driven by his test scores and AART's belief that that was where he belonged.  It is not that difficult to find the kids who fit the program.[/quote]
