[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If CML is being used on 2nd graders for GBRS purposes, it’s more likely to keep kids out of AAP than it is to help them get in. My experience with running CML and MOEMS is that many kids with good grades and high test scores who appear advanced or even gifted in math are exposed by these contests as being pretty unremarkable/average in math aptitude. [/quote] I don't think that is the case. If a child does well, then it can really help with the GBRS. Technically, the job of the AART and the school is to highlight the strengths of a student, so if kids don't do that well on these types of problems, then they will look to other work samples and distinguishing factors. But, for children who do well on these types of problems, it can be a distinguishing factor. I think some parents understand this because I've heard more about kids practicing similar types of problems than in previous years. [/quote]
