[quote=Anonymous]OP here-

We did not badger the teacher please don't assume otherwise.  We were only looking for constructive feedback to know how GBRS is accessed so that we GET it right for grade 3 and the teacher spoke well. Clearly, GBRS is the single most important criterion for AAP and this is an AAP forum. The kid is heartbroken because his friends are moving to a different school.
Who gives the GBRS rating? Perhaps I was not clear in my original post about DC's 2nd-grade teacher and said he [b]was not the one who gave the GBRS rating[/b], but the AART teacher is pointing the finger at the 2nd-grade teacher. GBRS commentary clearly says the child is performing above grade level yet the score is only FO, surely the evaluator (teacher or AART) must have known the consequences of this rating? We are confused. Is this a case where the teacher says nice things to your face but privately gives a bad rating in GBRS? Why is there a taboo in discussing GBRS with teachers? Why is FCPS and local school not more transparent about this? [quote]
Regarding prepping: I don't know about others but DC went completely unprepped to WISC evaluation because we were genuinely curious.[/quote]
