[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For parents reading this board, newsflash -  parents can refer kids for gifted identification.   I’d LOVE to hear about any parent whose identification was actually rejected by an APS elementary principal :)   Just so everyone’s aware how stringent the “program” is and how meaningful it is to be identified by APS.

Me! Principal denied the appeal, then we appealed above her and won. The higher-ups in APS seemed shocked by what was going on at that school and they shook up the school's whole gifted program after that. [/quote]

I love that this story has gone totally Arlington.  I posted that you shouldn’t worry about the dumb school labels because you as their parent can control the labeling by doing it yourself.  Some idiotic responders seemed to think this wasn’t true and there was a super secret select committee of intensive review that went into getting kids into Arlington's secret society of extra smart gifted kids.  And lo and behold we have proof that those posters are no match for Arlington parents who will go above the principal to get their child into this really amazing club.  Only in Arlington is all of this utterly wasteful nonsense going on. [/quote]
