[quote=Anonymous]I agree that there should be a means for kids to get into the GT program even if they don't have a certain score on the tests.  Just like the previous poster's child.  It appears her child belongs in a GT program and the way the county selects kids for the program allows children like hers to get in.

However, I don't think children with very high test scores like those posted earlier (139 and 150) should be EXCLUDED from the program because some teacher doesn't think the child has "gifted behaviors."  The GBRS is subjective to some degree.  And they are not consistent across teachers.  What one teacher might think is "gifted" another might think is "normal."  Does a child in a lower-income area appear "gifted" compared to one in an area of wealthy students?  Is there even any type of training of teachers that allows the teachers across the county to mark children with some level of consistency on the GBRS?

I just don't see how someone with 130s through 150 scores being excluded.[/quote]
