[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So my 2nd grader was in the pool, had high test scores but low GBRS because I don't think his teacher really sees his abilities (despite telling us that other students ask him for help frequently). We appealed, including a high WISC result and addressing the low GBRS scores but he still didn't get in. Guess that teacher input or lack thereof, means a lot. Hope he gets one who will advocate for him next year.[/quote]

Same, not a great GBRS - 99th% on both cogat (139) and NNAT (152), rejected on appeal (2nd grade).[/quote]

same here, 3Fs 1 O not great school samples. Kid is in the Advanced Math group in class. Sciences not an issue at all! All kids in his Advanced Math group got into Level IV and moving away to Center school, his best friend included. Such a ridiculous system.

Cogat 122, Wisc 124. Appealed with lots of evidence of Advanced aptitude of kid.

So let's say ds was borderline (which I strongly disagree even though standardized scores suggest so), even then he needs full time AAP so he can push himself to a higher level.

Advanced Academics should be offered to all kids who either the teacher or parent think needs them. A continuous evaluation can be done during the school year again and if any kid/parent want to opt out, then they should be allowed to do so.

I hope some sense dawns in the school administrators of this process. There are so many excluded students that can really benefit from a higher curriculum. [/quote]

I don’t think it should be just parent wanting it. Just look at how honors is going in middle school. [/quote]

Yeah, absolutely not to that. Most parents “want” it for their kids, but these are group classes, and kids who can’t keep up drag everyone else down — hence why there are standards and not just “Mommy thinks I’m super smart!”  :roll: [/quote]
