Not that he couldn’t do well in AAP but he didn’t sound like a good candidate from what you’ve written about his behavior. On the other hand he does seem advanced. Obviously he got in, so what exactly are you claiming? That he wouldn’t have?[/quote]

What?  A kid with a 140+ IQ who is way above grade level in all subjects, had glowing reviews from the math and reading specialists who performed the pull-out groups, and had excellent writing samples is not a good candidate for AAP because he wouldn't do coloring pages?  In what universe are you living?

What I'm claiming is that the GBRS is meaningless.  My child who has a highly gifted IQ and is excelling in the AAP classroom got an 11.  My child who is merely bright and is a pretty average AAP student got a 16.  If the committee is relying even more on the GBRS, then it's likely that many gifted kids will be excluded from AAP, while many slightly above average people-pleasers will get in.  [/quote]

My argument is AAP is asking for exactly what it wants. It is not requiring independently run full psycho educational testing. It wants bright students who are people pleasers. But your child was admitted. Sure his GBRS were mediocre, but do you not think his file lacked any of the other evidence you listed? Those were all part of the full package. [/quote]
