[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]exactly ! with the 2 similar scores of different ability test one cannot assess the wisc score how in the world can GBRS rating of a teacher in one class can access the hypothetical future of kids performance in next grade levels with out introducing them into Advance academics program??  If teacher in one grade do not identify the potential of the child its not the end of the world. No body is forcing you to reply here with your weird posts...[/quote]
No, not "exactly!", you completely missed the point.  The current evidence, two test scores and GBRS, put your the kid in the not eligible pool for the AAP.  The fact that the test scores are similar is actually a point against either of of them being "wrong".  You asked whether or not a WISC would help your appeal, and the answer is that it depends on the WISC score, which [i]no one here knows[/i].

That's a different question than the unrelated tangent of not being able to assess kids' abilities to do AAP without putting them in AAP, which I also don't agree with.  The combination of test scores, GBRS, parent submissions, and work samples give a pretty well-rounded picture of the student.  And the fact that parents can appeal ineligibility findings by submitting additional data gives plenty of opportunity to place the kids most likely to succeed in AAP.  Does the process miss sometimes?  Sure, in both directions -- kids get placed that shouldn't be there, kids that could make it are found ineligible.  You can also reapply pretty much every single year to have the kid in AAP, so maybe AAP as a 3rd grader isn't a fit, but the kid has a maturity-spurt in 3rd or 4th and is better suited in a higher grade.  AAP goes through 8th grade.  It's not 3rd grade or bust.  At our orientation, there was a kid who's been in gen ed with my kid for two years and is moving into AAP as a fifth grader because it's the right fit for them now.

And I don't really think I'm the one posting weirdly.  Your comments don't make sense grammatically or logically.  You sound very bot-ish, actually.[/quote]
