[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GBRS is subjective scoring system.  It is done by 2nd grade teacher that barely knows the child since they only have 4-5 months before the GBRS rating.  If the child is outgoing, most teachers will think that child must be gifted.  If the child is shy or introvert, that child may not open up untill much later.  The shy child maybe the most gifted child in the classroom however, because the child stays quite, the teacher is not going think that child is gifted.  So, no matter how many opinions are posted on GBRS, it is a very subjective scoring system.[/quote]

Wow.  Are you a FFX County Teacher?  Do you know a lot of them?  If you don't think that the teacher knows his/her students by 4-5 months into school, you are crazy.  I don't believe that teachers believe that an outgoing kid is automatically read as gifted and the shy child is ignored.  That is just another excuse that doesn't pan out in reality.  Quiet or not, teachers know their kids.

My child is painfully shy and never spoke up in class unless forced and she got into the AAP program with a 14 GBRS from the pool.  The three most outspoken kids in her class aren't in the program at all.  I know one was in the pool, didn't get in and her parents didn't bother appealing, but I have no idea about the other two.  I just know that they aren't in the AAP program currently.  I know about the one because she and my daughter are good friends.[/quote]

The teachers are not trained for identifing gifted children. Some maybe better than others.  That's the whole problem.  INCONSISTENCY.[/quote]
