[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Keep in mind, each committee member spends about 5 minutes TOTAL reviewing each file. [/quote]

I assumed that they were spending around 10 seconds at most looking at each work sample.  So, unless the sample obviously looks advanced from a very brief glance, it's not really going to help the file at all.  They're not going to spend enough time to actually judge the work sample for content or outside-the-box thinking.  I think the same is true with awards.  If it's something that is at a glance impressive, include it.  If it's not immediately obvious that it's impressive, it's probably not going to help.

That being said, I wonder whether parent submissions at all influence how the local school committee views your child when preparing the GBRS.   [/quote]

I was wondering whether they saw what I supplied when preparing the GBRS[/quote]

Our school AART  mentioned that they spent average of 4 hours per file before sending it to center.[/quote]
