[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]clearly a child with a high IQ is bright.  a child with a high GBRS may not be bright, just liked by the teacher.  i guess which would you rather have in the class?

I think though, most teachers try to be "objective" in coming up with the subjective GBRS number.  I think the parameters might be a little faulty though.  my child is clearly bright, high IQ, but very shy.  hence a lower gbrs.[/quote]

[b]I have heard that the AAP selection committee is biased against very shy children.[/b] I wonder if there are many activities (presentations and such) that could make AAP an uncomfortable experience for a very shy child? Those with kids already in AAP, is it a difficult environment for a shy child?[/quote]

A lot of hooey, like so much on this board.  My shy child easily got in.    Here's the thing, unless your child is off the charts smart you should count yourself lucky of they get in.  Anyone else will do fine in a local school, and I think deep down parents know this or there wouldn't be so much angst on this board. [/quote]

[b]The whole process is bs. It should be based on scores and nothing else. Better yet, it should be based on iq. Period[/b][/quote]

doesn't prove diddly. Thank goodness the selection people disagree with you. :D[/quote]
