[quote=Anonymous][quote]What this does is it includes high achievers, regardless of their scores. The kid who did do the optional project, was enthusiastic in the classroom, seemed to learn easily and get the other kids to follow (might call them "popular") will get in based on GBRS. Certainly, it does leave room for some abuse and preferential treatment, but I guess no system is perfect...[/quote]

Smart kids present in many different ways and teachers are aware of this. Some smart kids are like the child described above, many are not. Teachers know that 75% of gifted kids are introverts and are possibly also shy so they take those behaviors into account when filling out the GBRS. Teachers receive training on how to identify gifted behaviors and they do a good job of describing actual behaviors they see in the classroom.  The AAP committee reads the teacher's reports, along with test scores and parental input to make decisions about AAP identification.  Every kid is different and the committee members take that into account.
