[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In order to satisfy your own ego, you are wasting the county's valuable time and resources.  Your child is going to do just fine if he and she studies hard and puts forth great effort.  Instead, you want to brag with ladies at your book club that your child is in G/T.  What life lessons are you teaching.  When he or she gets rejected from certain colleges, are you going to stomp your feet and appeal that, too?[/quote]

County made appealing part of the process.  If they didn't, the first round could've been very different in evaluation.  You don't need to care much about other kids here.  Take good care of yours.

right. I understand that half the kids in AAP got in on appeal. Having been in the classroom a couple of times, I can tell ya a whole lot of them obviously received the "benefit of the doubt."  That's why we have 30-31 in the class instead of 24 or 25.[/quote]

Class size is up the the admin of the building and the center and is determined by the admin team of the school.  Classroom cap size is 32 for elementary especially in a center where kids are not as needy.  I am not sure where there are 30-31 in an AAP center but our center school only has maybe 21-24 in each grade level of 2 classes per grade from 3rd-6th.  It is also my understanding that kids are just not admitted automatically because they send an appeal and there does have to be space available at the center which also determines the acceptance for appeals.  It is by no means parents who appeal fault that AAP classrooms are hitting 30-31 kids since class size is a school based decision.[/quote]
