[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard that at my niece's school, the teacher wasn't involved much.  Mainly done by the AART and Principal?  
Relatively very small number of students got accepted from that school.  [/quote]

Our is like this.  The AART told me (when I asked point blank about the process) that it was done by a committee consisting of the AART, the principal and the counselor -- none of which could pick my child out of a line up.  The AART admitted that she didn't know who my child was.  She said that for each child, she talks to all of their teachers (K-2, specialists and regular) to get specific examples.

I think the process should have to be uniform throughout the county.  The panel composition should be the same.  And the people on the panel should actually have met the children before they decided if they are gifted or not.  What's the point of having a panel if none of them actually know the children?  My child had a 12, which the AART said was "high" yet many on here say is low, so I wonder if there is also inconsistency among the schools on that front (i.e. some schools are "easy graders" and others are "hard graders").  My child is already in from last year, s I don;t have a dog in this fight.  I just think the GBRS process is remarkably subjective since it seems to be given so much weight.[/quote]
