[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP's comment that the attitude tapers off in the higher grades is interesting. Do you mean the parents no longer believe their children are gifted or teachers don't think parents believe their children are gifted because they've had a few years to figure out their children's actual level of performance or intelligence?[/quote] Not that pp but I think there's just a lot more info for parents and teachers to go on once you get past the very early grades. So it's more likely that they converge on a reasonably similar assessment of the child. For some parents, it's probably a realization that Larla may be lovely, but she's not heads and shoulders above her peers. For some schools, they realize the parent was right and Larla is indeed unusual and needs something different[/quote]
