[quote=Anonymous]I have no dog in this fight as my child got in AAP last year, and I have no idea whether he had a low or high GBRS since I never asked.  However, the problem I see with the GBRS is, in addition to a teacher possibly being subjective among the group she is evaluating, the bigger problem lies with the fact that GBRS is not done consistently across schools.  What one new might think is brilliant, an older, experienced teacher might not.  Furthermore, in some schools, the GBRS is done by the teacher.  In others by the AAP Resource person, and in still others, a combination of several teachers, the principal, and other staff members.  Do these staff people even get any kind of training on how to fill out these forms and what constitutes a gifted behavior for a 7-year old?  Plus there's always the chance of staff members deliberately giving low GBRS scores so the kids stay at the base schol.  I don't think a low GBRS should keep a student out of AAP if he/she has high test scores.[/quote]
