[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The whole point of my post is to suggest that FCPS do away, completely, with all referrals. As a result, immediately you will see less kids in AAP. That's all. Why not agree to this?? It seems like a no-brainer![/quote]

I'd trust a teacher referral more than I'd trust many parents.  All parents think their kids are brilliant, but even with today's outrageous AAP acceptance rates there are still many kids being turned away.  Teachers can be objective and also see how your kids compare to others their age.  There might be the occasional kid they miss, but I'm guessing that would be the exception.  I think FCPS has to allow referrals fro parents in order to give the impression of fairness and avoid lawsuits.[/quote]

The thing is parental referral does not get a kid into AAP.  it allows the county to evaluate the child.  Parental referrals may lead to more children requiring evaluations, but do not directly increase the number of kids in AAP.  [/quote]
