[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm also curious about those that say that the school "worked" with them or they met with the AAP coordinator.  What do you mean?  We contacted the teachers and they said they couldn't do anything but fill out the GBRS.  The AAP refused to meet and instead offered her general session she gave to parents of kids of all grades.

What schools are you all from?  I'm wondering if it's ours and we were just blown off or if there is something else at work here.

I think maybe I played this wrong by actually listening to what the school and the AAP coordinator told me to do.[/quote]

First, sorry your child did not get in.  I felt the same way as you about my daughter's school.  I asked a question or her teacher (via email) and she seemed to blow me off - didn't answer for several days and then it was a very general, party-line answer.  I introduced myself and asked the AAP coordinator at the school a question at the meeting, and she too was very vague.  I was not confident that they were supportive of her being in the program.  My daughter's scores varied widely - one perfect score, one average score, and two above average, but below 130 scores.  I didn't expect that she'd get in because I figured she wouldn't score well from the teacher and AAP coordinator.  However, we got the letter today that she got in.  I don't know if it's from that one perfect score, the work we sent, or if the teacher was more supportive of her than she let on (I didn't try to find out because I didn't want to know; I thought it would only upset me if they were low).  Anyway, I would do the WISC if I were you and hope for a high score.  Then hopefully, s/he will get in on the appeal.  [/quote]
