[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, if it makes anyone feel better, my child had a 99th on WISC, In-Pool, 99th Cogat,  PERFECT GBRS two years in a row (3rd and 4th), Level III, Advanced Math, and all 4s. JUST got admitted on Appeal for Grade 5. Never expected it right now, truthfully. Just applied, because, hey…why not?

So honestly, you never know. All the stuff about the GBRS being important…Like I said, absolutely perfect. Everything CO and great examples etc. And just got in on appeal. I wasn’t going to even bother with the Appeal. Just decided to last minute. Funny thing is, now I am not sure he wants to do it, because his friends are not in the program…   :?: [/quote]

I don’t get why your child has not been accepted for a couple of years. This whole aap thing can be really confusing and unclear at the same time. Is your child in high SES, center school? [/quote]

Correct. High Income neighborhood. Center school. [/quote]

Also, I am the poster of the above. So anyone who received my child’s packet couldn’t for the life of them understand why he got rejected…Lol…for 2 years! I am also not sure what changed now. I guess this time his work samples were really different and much more reflective of who he is. But you never know. Keep trying if it is important to you! However, in truth, there are bright kids everywhere. His best friends are all level III and Advanced Math. All super sharp and who could have/should have been in Level IV. So again, don’t sweat it. If you want, keep trying. But bright kids WILL be fine wherever they are. [/quote]

There's truth to this statement. However, my experience this past year with FCPS (DD in Grade 2) clearly illustrated that COVID has put kids all over the developmental map, and that classroom instruction has been impacted by kids (through no fault of their own) who are WAY WAY behind where they should be. This is going to be a reality that stays with us for years beyond the pandemic per se. I'm sure I'll get flamed for saying this but -- as a parent -- I really don't care: My DD was declared eligible for AAP Level IV and I'm grateful she'll be in an environment next year in which the developmental gap is not as wide as it was this past year, and there are fewer classroom disruptions.[/quote]
