[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The resources are definitely available GE teachers in many schools.  Training, too.

You are projecting a solution based on your very limited anecdotal experience.  Many kids are not ready and it creates too much pressure and stress.  Let every child learn at their pace.  That is what GE teachers are likely trying to do.[/quote]

Np.  How many gen ed teachers do you know who use Caesar's English?  The problem is because it's not a part of the gen ed curriculum, most kids who can handle it in Gen Ed don't get access because the teacher is too busy working with the kids who "aren't ready."  That's why so many people parent refer and appeal.  Bright gen ed kids get screwed because the base gen ed curriculum is dumbed down for the kids who aren't ready.  How about if they aren't ready, they can get remedial help?  So tired of bright but not gifted kids getting the shaft because of political correctness.  [/quote]

Wouldn't the same be true of the kids in AAP in third, with regard to how they "got the shaft" k-2 when they were likely sitting hearing things for years they already knew?[/quote]

No most of them were way too busy prepping for Nnat and cogat.[/quote]

Sad that you probably believe that.  You also probably believe that any parent who is loud enough can get his kid in.   :roll: [/quote]

Probably not those who are loud enough, but definitely the ones with enough money to pay for a private WISC :D [/quote]

Interesting how so many successful appeals occur in the wealthier schools.  Those parents are the only ones able to afford WISC testing.[/quote]

GMU provides WISC, Cogat, and NNAT free to those who qualify for reduced price or free lunch at their public schools. This is a wonder option. [/quote]

What if my son get a low score for any reason does that affect in the aap decision ?[/quote]

Feel free to disregard my response if you're not comfortable sharing your insights. I'm seeking practical advice from those with real experiences, as the nuances are often missed in standard online searches. [b]Let's maintain a positive atmosphere for knowledge exchange in this forum[/b]

That's not what this forum was created for. Seriously.

The VA Schools Forum, yes.  This one, no.[/quote]

Respecting diverse opinions is key in a forum. Deciding question suitability is not an individual's role. Let's value each member's input without dictating what's a 'good' question. Moderators are here for that purpose . Just relax and have a good night away from my silly questions.
