 :shock: That's ridiculous.  [/quote]

How was gbrs?[/quote]
It shouldn't matter.  WISC of 136 is well above the gifted threshold.  If the teacher isn't "seeing giftedness" in a child who is objectively gifted, then it probably speaks more to the teacher's biases or lack of understanding of giftedness than it does to the child's ability.  [/quote]

I agree that a WISC of 136 should be in.  But report cards and low test scores on the NNAT and Cogat may show an unengaged child who cannot succeed in 1st grade and 2nd grade.  Would that child turn around and thrive in AAP? Or not?

Or sometimes the committee makes a mistake.  That's why there's an appeal process.[/quote]

A kid with gifted behaviors and low test scores, who is having trouble staying engaged at school is the very definition of a kid for whom the regular classroom does not meet the child’s needs. This is the kid who needs a different learning environment.

Sorry, I meant low grades, not low test scores.
