[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am happy!!! I thought it might be rude to put this on the AAP board where people go into morning when the child gets an average score. We are not interested in the gifted program. I was concerned that she wouldn't put in the effort which would result in an extremely low score and people would underestimate her abilities. This score is probably quite accurate.

[b]Did I mention she had a lot of issues at birth and we didn't know if she would even be healthy. [/b]The fact she is healthy and handling school makes me want to break into a snoopy dance. If she got the lowest score possible, I'd still be happy because she's alive and healthy.

My child may be the only person in FCPS that didn't get the 99th percentile based on what I have seen in posts prior ;)!

Why did you mention this? It sounds like you are saying. "well yeah my kid got average scores but she isn't one of the dumb kids. See, she has a REASON for getting an average score...."

Maybe you aren't as happy about this as you believe.[/quote]

Re-reading what I wrote, I can see how it might come across that way. I wasn't trying to say my kid would be a genius if it weren't for the early medical issues or that my kid isn't one of the dumb ones. What I was trying to convey is I have perspective and health and living are more important. I strongly suspect most kids underperform on these sorts of things at such a young age which is why I was shocked to see my child didn't underperform. We have been through many evaluations over the years and early on, everything was bottom percentile (we're talking 2nd percentile) and I just didn't think that was accurate.[/quote]
