[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the InView critic @ 11:43:  (1). Ask a second grade teacher - the bulk of kids have never seen anything like this test before and it is not at all easy for them.  (2).  There are 5 sections, and you have to score 80%ile and above on 2 of them PLUS meet another criteria to earn the label.  (3).  It's universal screening - designed to cast a wide net.

[b]Does it matter if they're a bit too generous with the gifted label [/b]when there are all these other measures of academic success, and a totally separate application process for the gifted education program?

Yes, because clearly a lot of parents take it too seriously, and there is so much angst over "[b]My child was labeled gifted but didn't get into HGC[/b]. Now what?"[/quote]

This is because too many parents don't understand that gifted is not highly gifted.  It's not a Gifted Center.  It's a High Gifted center.  Very significant difference.
