[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Np here,

In my opinion, "the commitee" is made to avoid blaming game for the teacher. Principal and aart would not really know every kids in the 2nd grade. 
I think GBRS is mainly the teacher's subjective opinion but s/he wouldn't want to be blamed when parents complain.[/quote]

Also, our school's AART didn't even know what "GAI score" from WISC-4 was. I had to explain to her! [/quote]

And they are responsible for rating our children on their abilities...ugh.

This post and the lack of objective, well-trained qualifications mentioned on this thread are yet another glimpse into the bizarre, political and poorly designed ways our schools are determining how to educate our children. It baffles me. [/quote]

Our AART is supposed to lead the students in critical thinking exercises, but I have not seen very good examples.  I noticed some errors in my kid's AAP file (I asked for it after we got in), and asked about them.  She said that the reason she had him listed as being of "more than one ethnic background" is because he had had the tag "Non-Hispanic".  She didn't seem to think there was a mistake on her part.[/quote]

This is nothing that he/she can control. AARTs don't have access to change these items in the information system. All the student background info (DOB, Ethnicity, address, etc) are pulled straight from the student information sysem. The AART didn't have any control over what was labeled there. That is something to take up with the Student information person in the front office. There is not a mistake the AART can make there due to the fact that they can't access any of it. [/quote]

And good luck getting it changed.  I've been trying for 4 years to get my kids race changed. Every-time we get it changed, it comes back.....[/quote]
