[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How awkward is it dealing with a teacher who gave your child a low GBRS? My son is darn near mute/extreme introvert with adults he is not comfortable with. His teacher made it clear she didn't think my son should apply to AAP so pretty sure GBRS will be a 4-8. Who knows. She likes him well enough but doesn't see him as advanced. I plan to ask in March. We disagree and think he would do well. He opens up once he feels comfortable with a teacher, but she doesn't make him feel comfortable. His K and 1st grade teacher managed to get him to open up and he's just fine with peers. His issue is with adults. I don't blame his teacher. She is perfectly nice but my son is a quirky kid. I have tried to show her things he does at home but she seems unimpressed. I think she thinks I help him so she doesn't seem on board with AAP. I just wonder how awkward it is volunteering in the classroom and dealing with a teacher when you despise them for underestimating your child. He did not make it in pool. He had a 132 in sub scores but not composite. We did submit a WISC on first round in anticipation of low GBRS. His FSIQ was a 131. He may not survive the low GBRS. I know he's not a mega genius or anything but I think AAP would be right for him and it's frustrating that his teacher does not agree.

Just wondering what it was like if any parents in here had one of their kids (even if they made it anyway) get a low GBRS from a teacher and how they had to still be kind and pleasant the remainder of the year. [/quote]

My friend absolutely did not like the teacher after learning of her DD's score a few years ago.  She loved the teacher before then.  Human nature would of course be that you would have unpleasant feelings about her if you see what she thinks if it doesn't mirror your own views.  That said, your child is not in the pool, apparently doesn't have great school work samples (since you're trying to show her what he does at home versus school work, has a 131 FSIQ, and is, as you yourself deem, not a mega genius.  I think you should mentally prepare for a "mediocre" GBRS and realize at least there is some outside evidence showing that he doesn't deserve a super high GBRS.  [/quote]
