[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]13:44 here.  There is no gbrs conspiracy.  If you review your child's packet, you will see that there is a comment sheet that has to be completed and submitted with specific observed examples that support the score in each category.  This is typically completed by the entire second grade team, since most kids have multiple teachers due to flexible grouping.  It is then discussed again by the local screening committee.  There are no "random or downgraded" scores.  Everything must be documented and the entire committee must agree before the packet is completed.

The gbrs conspiracy was created by disgruntled parents who 
don't understand the true purpose of the aap program and how the evaluation process works, and need to find 
some way to justify why the school didn't agree with the parents' assessment of their children's classroom traits.

Their is no truth to it.

I find this comment very interesting.  My son was admitted who is not even on grade level reading and on grade level math.  He has struggled with reading and math since Kindergarten and we were shocked he was even in the pool.  But yet I have a friend whose daughter is 2 grade levels ahead in reading, a grade level ahead in math, goes to AAP pull-out for reading and math and shines in her classroom but yet she was found ineligible with a 9 GBRS and high CoGat scores.  When my friend asked the AAP pull-out teacher for an explanation of the GBRS and if she should be concerned about her daughter's change in behavior since just last year and Kindergarten, there was not even a response to the phone call or email.  I volunteered in the classroom with this little girl when the two children were in 1st grade together and I was so sure my friend's daughter she would go and my son would not.  I am still wondering why this happened.[/quote]
