[quote=Anonymous] I have a similar child and agree very much with what previous posters have mentioned. One particular thing to watch out for is acceptance into gifted classes, if they are based primarily/exclusively on test scores. My son is only in second grade, but he finds even the 40 minute “MAPS” tests to be positively unbearable. For him, this means just answering it as quickly as possible to get it finished with. His well–attuned teacher told him he had to do it again, which raised his score about 15-18 percentile points (after a tearful outburst). She was the one who alerted us to be aware in the next year or two when they start selecting for advanced classes. [/quote]
