[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i feel it's so crazy that all of this is behind a veiled curtain - like, we get it, it's the whole child you're looking at, but there are definitely "cut-offs" they have determined.

and if a teacher was new or didn't know what papers to assign and collect/ What if a teacher was overwhelmed by personal circumstances and was not really invested in the kids. What if a teacher had a predetermined notion that one race is more gifted than another. There is too much weight on what the teacher says.

This whole program is ass-backwards. It should open up the floodgates and all students should be allowed - no, encouraged to have higher level thinking and challenges. as they grow, we see which kids thrive and which kids need more support and then support them so that they can succeed. This whole thing of pitting kids against each other and having parents prep and train their kids is asinine. I found out after taking my kid to take his WISC that the other parents prepped and found tests online and practiced with their kid. I asked the GMU people if there was anything i needed to do (after learning parents prepped their kids for COGAT) and she said no, there was no way to prep, it was a one-on-one evaluation that they would either know or wouldn't... clearly that was not 100% true.

Or maybe your kid is getting their needs met and will do fine in the gen ed classroom. You sound like a conspiracy theorist; not a good look. [/quote]
