[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All teachers in DD pre-school as well as her Sunday language school consistently used "really smart" to describe DD.  But her current FCPS 1st grade teacher told me repeatedly that DD is just a "happy average kid" and I should be thankful of that.  Somehow I think she is lost in the big class and I don't think this will translate well into high GBRS.  I don't know what I can do about this.  Probably nothing except a WISC test.[/quote]

You can't compare what the teacher of a preschool 2+ years ago was saying to what will be translated at the school.  The current teacher is comparing your child to other kids of the same age.  That doesn't mean that your child is or isn't "really smart," because, in this area "really smart," is pretty much average, as kids in this area are smarter than other kids, on the whole, nationwide.  It also doesn't mean your child will get a high GBRS.  ([b]Did you ask your child's first grade teacher about the GBRS???)  [/b][/quote]

I don't know whether 1st grade teacher has filled up GBRS.  When do parents normally ask this kind of information?[/quote]

I can't think of a single reason why you'd need to know the first grade GBRS now.  It is about as helpful right now as what the preschool teacher said.[/quote]
