[quote=Anonymous]There are different ways of being noticed. DS is quiet, he needed to be encouraged to participate through second grade. He didn’t raise his hand and wasn’t the volunteer ever. But his Teachers all seemed to figure out that he was ahead and needed to be encouraged. His K, 1rst, and 2nd grade Teachers all said the same thing.

He stood out, in a class of 30 and with an AART who was part time at a school of 700 kids, by completing his work quickly and then doing the extra stuff that was listed and then reading a book quietly or writing his own story or doing math problems for fun. He knew the answers when he was called on and was able to explain the answers when asked. I strongly believe it was his K and 1rst grade Teacher that suggested he needed LII services because of the comments that they made about his work.

I don’t know why the Teachers give the GBRSs that they give but I don’t think that there is a penalty for being a quiet kid or a kid who is not demanding attention. All I can say is that the GBRSs that we received in 2nd grade matched the comments that we had been hearing since DS started at the school. That included areas where he was on grade level as well as the areas that he was ahead.

I don’t know what the Teachers have been saying at Parent Teacher conferences for the last few years but I would be surprised if what they wrote differs that much from what they have been saying. [/quote]
