[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so using thicker resume paper for the appeal is the ticket then? Oh my Buddha. I can't understand why some people call you folks "pushy parent."  :roll:[/quote]

Haven't you heard? There's no ticket. There is, however, an opportunity to present your child's strengths in as many ways as you can. If someone is going to the trouble of appealing, they might as well do that.  If "letting the scores speak for themselves" wasn't enough the first time, try something else. You can call it pushy, I call it persistent. Threatening to sue, filing FOIA requests, calling congressmen? That's pushy in my book. At least wait and try again next year if this is the first time your child has been declared ineligible.

Mind you, my DC is AAP center-eligible. I'm just trying to hold the door open for the people coming up the sidewalk behind me.[/quote]

I really think you should submit the appeal inside a leather-bound portfolio with the word "AAP Appeal" embossed in gold on the front cover.
Inside you may want to annotate your child's written work with your interpretation of what the child really means by this so the committee doesn't "miss it."[/quote]
