[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain why a child with high test scores, getting O's, and doing above average work in school would get a GRBS below say 10?[/quote]

Read the gbrs scoring sheet.

It evaluates a very specific, narrow group of skills and attributes.

If most parents truly look at the list objectively, it would be surprising for even parents to score their child a 15 or 16.

Yes. Every category begins with, "Exceptional...". So already it's been narrowed quite a bit. "Exceptional" in itself should give you a small pool. The, to get a "2", a child has to demonstrate exceptional ability "occasionally". A "3" is showing exceptional ability "frequently". I've taught third grade for 16 of my 20 years. Most students probably score in the 4-7 range or so. I see a 10 as being a pretty good score. A 12 is high. I don't think I've ever had a 16. Given two 2s and two 3s, that student with a 10 is showing exceptional ability either occasionally or frequently in the four rating areas.[/quote]
