[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would FCPS AAP have meetings like that with a professional medical association?  [/quote]

Because the AAP office had been tracking not only WISC scores but the tester/psychologist who provided the report. They found a high number of WISC scores from a specific tester.[/quote]

Okay let me think about this for a moment.

AAP office would only be getting WISCs with high scores, so how would they know that a certain tester is only giving out high test scores?

I have one kid with a high WISC score and one with an average score. Testing was done by the same psychologist. We did not submit the average WISC score to the AAP office. [/quote]

I agree with you; the results would obviously be skewed as only the "high" WISC scores would be received by the central selection committee. I simply reported what AAP staff did a few years ago.[/quote]

Maybe the problem is very high WISCs with mediocre CogAT, NNAT and GBRS.  Say on appeal, Psychologist 1 submits 20 130-136 WISC reports, and the kids have, say, CogAT 128-130, NNAT 124-126, GBRS 11 or 12.   And on appeal, Psychologist 2 submits a 20 WISC 138-142 reports where the kid has CogAT 105, NNAT 110, GBRS 7.  Some of psychologist 2's scores could be legit (ADHD or LD kid, etc).   But Psychologist 2's findings look very suspicious to the committee, and Psychologist 1's do not. [/quote]
