[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Similar story, both my children who were going into 5th and 7th grades got in last year. I did not appeal the years prior. I will say that my younger student was able to be in the Level IV classroom in the fourth grade (he was level III). His teacher informed me that she was referring him for Level IV and then he got in. I have no idea why they were unable to get in the program before. [/quote] Easy one, just need to make a larger donation on Teacher Appreciation Week.[/quote] Or become the PTA president or another important board member, and make large donations to the school.[/quote] Literally NONE of the children of PTA board members at our ES are in the AAP classes.[/quote] This is an accurate representation of our school as well. Many on the PTA board and other highly active members have SPED kids, which makes sense. Because their kids are more difficult on average to deal with, out of guilt they try to make it up by being more involved in the school. They also get the benefit of being in the classrooms and looking out for their kids more often.[/quote] That's not the case at my kids' school. The PTA parents are just regular parents and their kids are just regular kids. This year, the ones with 3rd-6th graders don't have kids in AAP. It's not particularly competitive, everyone's happy.[/quote]
