[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never said the committee was all knowing. I said she can’t assume The teacher just doesn’t think much of him. Maybe he exhibits as a 9 legitimately. [/quote]

or maybe she wouldn't know a gifted child if it bit her in the butt. Half these kids the committee gives low scores too end up being brighter than the people evaluating them. When kids with 130 and above IQs get low GBRS scores it's absurd.  I've had teachers send me emails with spelling errors. I wouldn't put too much faith in the GBRS being accurate. [/quote]

Absolutely, that is possible.  The opposite is equally as possible.  After all, all kids with medicore GBRS aren't gifted.  All kids whose parents think they are gifted aren't gifted.  You would agree, would you not, that some kids with medicore GBRS have scores at that level which are completely warranted?  And you would agree, would you not, that the majority of the parents who are reading through the posts in this AAP forum are likely NOT thinking their kids should get a medicore GBRS?  Just as I said MAYBE he is legitimately a 9, and you said MAYBE  he isn't...we're saying the same thing.  I'm simply saying that she can't just assume the kid doesn't think much of him.  She may like him a lot...thinking he is gifted (or not) doesn't mean she doesn't "think much of him."  If she reports back that his IQ is a 100, would you then think the teacher was right?[/quote]
