[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While OP's post may be long, it does show the subjective nature of the AAP selection process.  The dramatic difference in perception at the two schools points out how flawed the GBRS can be as a significant deciding factor.  A 4 vs. a 15 is a huge gap.  Also, I'm sure the 4 GBRS probably had something to do with the principal telling OP the AAP ship had sailed for OP's child.  I can understand why OP found the process debilitating (even if it's an exaggerated emotion for something like this).  Imagine knowing your child is completely capable of handling AAP or that AAP is a better fit than gen ed.  Then imagine the people in charge of your child's education giving a 4 GBRS, submitting poor work samples, then losing the originals of the good ones you picked out and submitted to support your parent referral, and then brushing you off multiple times when you are trying to figure out what fix the fact that they lost your submissions. Then imagine having your views of your child validated by other educators the subsequent school year.  Are you saying you wouldn't be a bit bitter about the process?  I think the takeaway is, if you feel your child belongs somewhere, don't be steamrolled by the school because even those who are supposed to be qualified to make these determinations can be wrong and/or biased.  The other takeaway is if your child isn't found eligible, keep trying to get the best possible outcome for your child (which may or may not include referring in a subsequent year).  OP tried to give an honest account of her feelings, give her credit for her honesty.[/quote]

Please just stop with the drama. You’re embarrassing yourself now.[/quote]
