[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It has nothing at all to do with working vs. not working and instead everything to do with how well the school communicates with parents.  The first school my kids attended was wonderful with communications, and I didn't miss a beat on required materials, even when I was going through cancer treatment.  Any parent with a kid who scored over 120 on the cogat was likely to get a personal call from the AART explaining AAP and how to apply.

The school my kids currently attend doesn't tell you anything, and I could have easily missed something like the AAP meetings or deadlines even while healthy.  I feel like I never have a clue what's going on.  Some school are terrible at communication and outreach.

If a family is new to the school and the kid got a cogat near 132, either the AART or classroom teacher should have reached out to make sure OP's family understood AAP. [/quote]

I think this experience is very much the exception, not the rule. My ES has great communication but there is no way the AART could make personal calls like that. I think that is expecting too much. Some, such as ours, are part time split between two schools. Schools have variable communication sure and parents take variable responsibility. Seriously OP forget about assigning blame and just get the info you need. If you really are interested and think it is right for your kid it shouldn’t be a big deal to ask for info.[/quote]
