[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not a gifted program anymore.

Teacher remarks should have the most weight. Is the child advanced? Hard working? Curious? Bright? That is the child for AAP. [/quote]

From someone who had one kid with a 15 gbrs and one with a 16:  the gbrs should carry a lot of weight but I could definitely see how kids could fall through the cracks and not get the gbrs deserved. I previously taught and know that during the local committee meetings, we boosted gbrs as high as legitimately possible for kids with lower scores who truly stood out as gifted. So if a kid with a 120 cogat was considered, wed give a very high gbrs bc he belonged in aap. [/quote]

Meanwhile, my kid is totally bored out of his mind, is tired of raising his hand and not being called on, and received 2Cs and 2Fs.  The teacher's comments were pretty lame, using the same examples over and over again.  I have a definite sense that my son's teacher does not like him.  I am glad I saw the writing on the wall and took the time to do the parent referral and provide examples of the out of the box stuff he likes to do at home that here is no outlet for at school.  My kid is not a people pleaser and I think that is what the GBRS often speaks to.[/quote]
