[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suspect the truth is somewhere in the middle. The committee goes in sometimes with the best intentions, sometimes with biases and whether the score is high or low, they don't always get it right. To suggest they always do is naive and to suggest they never do is unreasonable. It's a shame if the screening committee puts too much stock in it for that very reason. It should be one data point that is weighed equally with scores, [b]work[/b] [b]samples, recommendations, questionnaires[/b], awards, and/or any outside tests submitted. [/quote]

Weighed equally with testing?  Sure. Weighed equally with such subjective criteria?  Uh, no. [/quote]

Had to laugh at this.  I parent referred my third grader after a finding of inelibility in second grade, which was not reversed on appeal.  In the appeal package last year, I submitted a borderline WISC and at least three letters of recommendation.  Looking back, I'm sure the letters of recommendation did nothing to advance my case.  This year, I didn't submit a single one.  If they find my kid belongs in the program, it's not going to be because my kid's former babysitters and piano teacher said so.  [/quote]
