[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NNAT was 115, CoGAT high was 125, GBRS 8, and Wisc (used only for appeal) was 126.  AART had predicted that the WIsc would get my child in.[/quote]

This is a kid who would be fine in general ed. [/quote]

Nothing is gifted about this kid, bright and would do well in GE but average at best in AAP. But different things matter to different people and in this area being in AAP is the one! [/quote]

[b]It is the parent's place to make that decision.[/b] Sometimes parents see and hear things others don't - kids are shy, don't speak their mind or whatever. Class teacher is busy with 25 to 30 kids.

And if for some reason the kid doesn't do well in AAP, they can always get back to GE.

Between, PP, good for you and GL to ur kid![/quote]

I agree with your general statement except I can't buy in to the idea that whether a child is gifted rests primarily with the parent. Otherwise AAP would have open enrollment. Maybe you're talking about those on the edge, the appeal factor.[/quote]

Agreed. It is not up to the parents to make that decision. Parents can only apply/ appeal or whatever, the committee needs to approve the child of AAP.[/quote]
