The poster sounds awful.  Your kid is winning all the contests and to some extent makes other aap kids feel dumb?  You admit your kid did not do the work given.  So he actually should be dinged for motivation to succeed.  Do YOU think a kid who shirks his work requirements because he isn't a people pleaser should get a high mark on motivation to succeed?[/quote]

My kid did an excellent job with all of the projects, reports, exams, homework, and anything else with any substance.  He had no problems with finishing them on time and hitting all of the marks on the rubric.  He also fully participated in class.  The only things he didn't do were the coloring sheets, word searches, and other busywork.  To me, that's not a kid who should be given a 1 in motivation.  This teacher was extremely artsy and was really invested in coloring pages, neatness, and artistry on all work products.  She also seemed to have a very strong preference for girls over boys.

At my kid's center, the same few kids are winning geography bee, then WordMasters, then CML, then the spelling bee, and so on.  I don't like having my kid be one of those who wins everything, because I want him to learn to work hard and put in more effort.  It unfortunately is what it is.  The point was more that GBRS is pretty meaningless when kids who are obviously gifted and at the top of their AAP classes were given a GBRS that suggests they don't even belong in the program.
