[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is not in AAP
Nnat 127
Dra 24
Gbrs 3CO 1FO
Report card 4s

I haven’t decided to appeal or not.. are you going to appeal ? I am regret to let my child do his work samples by himself. No help from me. 
He is an awful writer but really good at math. 
He is immature when he was in first grade ( I thought that that’s why his test isn’t good enough)
He is really smart and out of thinker. 
His sister got in AAP with nnat 137, cogat 148 , DRA 40, 4CO two years ago. 
I don’t think  that my daughter is gifted just more mature than her brother , bright and motivated child. But my son, who is not in AAP is different honestly.
I am just disappointed in AAP system.

Why not appeal, nothing to lose.  You'll know you tried all you could.  AAP is not about giftedness!!!!  Most, and I mean 99.9% of the kids in AAP are NOT gifted - that's a totally different ball game. So, in your son's case, I would appeal, why the heck not.

Yes, you should appeal with new work samples. However, I'm unclear why you are disappointed in the AAP system. I don't want to sound harsh but your child didn't get into the pool and didn't receive 4COs, which is kind of a minimum for kids not making the pool. His sister got in two years ago by getting in the pool twice and receiving 4 COs. To me, the system appears to be working as intended. Plenty of kids this year scoring above 132 NNAT with 4 COs but still didn't get in.[/quote]
