[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here - my child doesn't like to stand out and will answer questions during group discussion but won't volunteer. Is this an issue?[/quote]

My DS is the same way - very introverted and didn't like being in a class with 29 other kids.  Got a GBRS of 12, test scores in the 140's and was accepted in to AAP.  You might have to hope for good test scores if you think the GBRS might be tough.[/quote]

This is my child.  Child did well enough on NNAT that I already know the child is in pool next year.  I am considering getting a WISC as I really can't imagine my child scoring high based on DC's personality.  DC also suffers from social anxiety, so the personality the school sees is NOTHING like the true personality of DC.[/quote]

This was us as well.  Good NNAT going into second but very much shy/socially anxious.  In addition to discussing it with the teacher during Fall conference we also discussed it with our DD, who recognized her shyness as something she wants to improve.  Together we worked on getting her to raise her hand, speak in class, etc.  No miracles, but enough forward progress that the teacher noted the effort in her weekly take home folder.  In the end, DD received a GBRS of 12 (four 3s), which focused on her academic performance and work ethic.  She was accepted to Level IV.  I suppose the lesson is that shyness doesn't preclude a good GBRS and/or that a GBRS of 12 is good enough.  [/quote]
