[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i think that we need to form a group and write a letter to the AAP appeals office that WISCs of 130+ (maybe 128+) should override all other low scores/GBRS and the kids should be accepted to AAP. How about going to the FCPS main office in one big group to voice the concern?[/quote]

Some poster on here a few weeks back mentioned going to WaPo. That seems like a better idea. [/quote]

While I agree how the admission criteria is applied is out of whack, WaPo will not have any sympathy for UMC parents who have the discretionary funds to pay for WISC V testing. They will frame it as a white "first world problem".

But many parents DON'T have discretionary funds for WISC testing and another test and that is the issue. It seems FCPS AAP is actually denying fited kids, UMC, white or otherwise and only the richest who can afford to do testing twice will benefit. THAT is a story. I'm sure there are racially or economically under represented (clearly not poor but maybe scrapped what they could for GMU testing) people who were denied with WISC of 130+ who said, well we can't afford testing again so we can't appeal and their gifted child (because a WISC over 130 is gifted) is left out in the cold. This is most certainly a story. [/quote]

So an UMC child who is deemed gifted by a test is passed over [b]in case[/b] there might be another child who didn't take the test who would have scored well? How is that fair to the other child?[/quote]
