[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]then who will be the best person to write a recommendation letter other than parents?[/quote]

Your AART will write one for your child.  Just ask.  IMO they are the best if they like your child and your child will get in first round with an AART referral.

This is wrong.  The AART will fill out the GBRS.  That's his/her job.  No FCPS employee is allowed to write an AAP recommendation.[/quote]

It is correct that a FCPS employee cannot write a recommendation for an AAP application.  [b]I have not seen any documentation that says a FCPS teacher cannot fill in the referral form.  I believe that can be done by parents, teachers, even the child themselves.  [/b]If you look at page 5 of this link [url]http://www.fcps.edu/is/aap/packet/ParentInformationPacketFCPS.pdf[/url]  you will see the referral can come from those groups.[/quote]

You are getting the referral form and the recommendation letter confused. 
Yes, the parents or the teacher can fill out the referral form.  Usually, it is the parent who fills out the referral form but if the teacher suspects that the parents may not do it, or can't do it, then the teacher can fill out the referral form.

The recommendation letter is part of the optional materials that is submitted with the referral form. Any FCPS employee cannot write a recommendation letter.

Let me get this straight:  the teacher fills out the GBRS, correct?  A friend of mine said that the 2nd grade teacher actually requested that the friend's DC be in her class so that she could write this child a good GBRS.  The friend and the teacher are good buddies.  Something here is not right if it's that easy to get a biased GBRS.[/quote]
