[quote=Anonymous]Did you fill out a questionnaire with anecdotes about your kid? 
Does your teacher like your kid?

My Ashlawn 2nd grades strikes me as smart and well behaved for a boy, but not necessarily gifted. He was flagged for CogAT and we filled out the form. We tried to paint an honest and fair picture of our child in the answers. We figured he was on the cusp and the teacher who is trained in child development, sees him every day, and has taught hundreds of 2nd graders is a better judge of his giftedness than we are. He got in, but I think it is because his teacher LOVES him and gushes about him in his report cards. I’m happy for my kid, I think it will be good for him socially to be grouped with his nerdier peers. However, I think a lot of the reason his teacher loves him is that he is a good rule follower and doesn’t cause trouble. There are some very boisterous, spirited boys in his class (I know them from sports teams) and by comparison he probably looks like an angel.
