[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never understood the anger and pushiness until now. My first child was s model in school and got in without me even filling out the parents' questionnaire. Now my son passed both nnnat (99%) and FxAT (97%), but was rejected for very low GBRS and work samples. As their parents, I know they have similar IQs, but different styles. I know my son needs AAP more as he could not concentrate if there is not enough challenge. But my daughter could be an excellent student anywhere.
Now I am a pushy parent and will appeal. Please tell me if somebody can stay calm if their kids have strong testing scores but rejected! Why bother to test at the first place then? Isn't the testing suppose to catch the kids who would otherwise not be noticed?[/quote]

because the tests alone aren't determinative. Maybe they're looking for kids whose GBRS and work samples tend to corroborate the high test scores.[/quote]

Any selection that is not based on test scores are subjective to bias from the school.  In the end its FCPS family all over, so the central selection committee sometimes decides to ignore the aberration, and other times it is particular.[/quote]
