[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The OP had a long thread in the AAP forum during appeals. The reading was evaluated by a former FCPS teacher who was tutoring the child.  The WISC was not at 132.

This is the case of a smart kid who is not testing high enough and showing the initiative in the classroom that they are looking for in AAP. The fact that the kid does better in tutoring but does not show that same ability in the classroom is problematic. it might be a sign of ADHD, the child does better ina 1 on 1 environment with individualized attention then in a classroom with a lot of distractions.

But the bigger issue seems to be a parent who is insisting that their kid belongs in category X and [b]not accepting that their child for who their child is. Why is a bright kid who is not really struggling in school in tutoring for subjects that the child is performing well in?[/b]

I understand wanting your child to have access to all possible opportunities but Mom seems to be over focused on this one issue.

Hopefully her child gets level III pull outs for math, maybe in the AAP class. But I would be surprised to hear that the child makes it into AAP.  [/quote]
This is where the damage will happen OP, not from being in Gen Ed[/quote]
