[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one has to punish the kid but he/she could be barred from participating in AAP that year.  Or be required to take a different test. I'm sure the parents would lose their collective s#!+[/quote]

And that would be punishing the kid by depriving them of a specific program.

There is already a theory that the committee is looking at kids with large score increases with a critical eye, making sure that the GBRSs line up with the score change. There is a theory that the committee pays even more attention to the kids with scores on the high end with a skeptical eye and making sure that the GBRSs and grades match those profiles. If those theories are correct, then they are looking at those things because they are well aware of prepping.

The reality is no one really know how the committee makes its decisions, whether or not classroom space is taken into consideration or how the evaluators actually evaluate the packages. All I know is that there are five people sitting at a table and at least 3 people have to agree to accept or decline a kid. So people guess a lot.
