[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]4:01 - chill out.

You have a high opinion of your kids' academics - great!

But objectively it looks like your kid is average academically for a 2nd grader for this area.  There is nothing wrong with being average - half of everyone else is worse!

It's 2nd grade.  With your positive support perhaps he'll leapfrog his cohorts.  Scorched earth with the school staff to try and get into AAP is not a good idea.[/quote]

I agree.

My son was not admitted. After I received the decision I requested the file to make sure there wasn't a disconnect between what I saw and what the teacher saw in our son. It turns out his GBRS score was 12, which is probably where I would place him as well. If it had been 6, I planned to request a conference with the teacher - not to accuse them of anything but to try to understand why my son was not exhibiting the behaviors I see at home when at school (e.g., anxiety) and to see if there was a way I could support his education better. Try to think in terms of understanding and moving forward.
