[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with PP.

Ten work samples, really?   Getting 3s and 4s.  Sounds like a kid who really needs a special education program to bring out the best in them.  NOT!

I'm not attacking you, because you worked within the system.  And I appreciate your honesty and courage in posting actual scores.  But a system that allows people who push hard to get their kids into AAP because basically "they can do the work," is a farce.  How many similarly intelligent kids have been left behind in general ed.  That's the dirty secret.  That's what's wrong with this program.  And I say that as a parent who had a kid in AAP.  But I also had kids in Gen. Ed. who had higher scores than those you appealed with (one with a 15 GBRS) and they did just fine in their local elementary school.    This is where AAP will ultimately collapse on itself.  Either the curriculum should be offered to all kids at a certain level or many kids are not receiving the education they deserve.  Too many people are okay with that as long as they get theirs.  That is no way to run a public school system.

Could not agree more.  Thank you for posting.[/quote]

Just curious, what's the issue with 10 work samples?  The "similarly intelligent kids" left behind in ge might have gotten into AAP if they had had that many samples.  [/quote]
