[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here comes my observation, sure to be flamed.  Often the exceptionally gifted child (IQ above 145) comes with other issues that can be misconstrued by over-worked or under-trained teachers.  That seemingly lazy, disengaged, self-absorbed, disruptive child could be the next Einstein (who probably would have scored a 2 on the GBRS ).[/quote]

totally agree.  this happened with my DC.  teachers mistake raising your hand all the time for giftedness.  [/quote]

Teachers know a lot more than you think. My kid received a 16 on the GBRS and he hardly ever raises his hand. He totally zones out if the topic is not challenging for him, and he looks bored or even despondent at "carpet time". But the teacher noticed that when she pulled out something more complex he perked right up.  [/quote]

well my kid got a high GBRS too so we think it is an invaluable tool for assessing true giftedness, but then those whose offspring got low GBRS thinks it's subective, unfair, the product of an untrained teacher who doesn't know what the heck he/she is doing etc. Funny how that works isn't it.  :evil:[/quote]
