[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my DC had a 16 gbrs with just a few sentences. I would think teachers have better things to do than type up 4 pages about a kid. If a child is getting a 16, then AAP should be a given and the teacher shouldn't have to waste so much time.[/quote]

Former FCPS teacher here.  Our school required extensive written comments to back up scores, especially very high ones.  [/quote]

What a drag. They should respect a teacher's opinion without having to justify it with minute examples.[/quote]

You should be able to trust the teacher.   But in our AAP rabid parts of FCPS though parents are stalking GBRS scores and driving teachers nuts. At some point I think becomes easier for teachers to give up and give a high score than it is to [b]deal with the fallout from a low one.[/b]  It's kind of hard to blame them. As to my source for this? Not someone who has seen any screening files besides DCs. But someone who lives in an AAP rabid part of the county, and has heard of a ton of 15s and 16s.  They seem to be very common in our ES, and definately not a once every 5 years thing, unless a lot of parents are lying about the GBRS.  I do know of kids whose parents say they are a 15 or 16 who end up not getting in. I suspect (but do not know) that PPs who say look at the comments are right.  I also think that certain teachers or ESs must get reputations, and that a 16 means more coming for school X than from ours. OP, maybe if you make you ES?[/quote]

Really? What would the fall out be? Mr. so and so is upset with you? Oh well. [/quote]
