[quote=Anonymous]One more thing, the GBRS had similar moments for parents. We had a good friends kid in class with ours. High test scores but the GBRS were not good, like don’t observe the trait not good. The Mom told me it felt like her kid was not smart. She was discouraged. Her kid is smart, he is not motivated academically but can do any of the work he is given. He isn’t motivated to do much outside of school, doesn’t like doing homework, and would generally be happy being in classes that are not challenging so he had more time to goof off and hang out. He was in pool during the 132 days and always did well in school, still does well in school. He just doesn’t care about school or being challenged.

We can argue about who needs AAP and the like until we are blue in the face, but sometimes the bright kids who test well and would do well are not motivated and don’t stand out. My sons friend complained about Level III and Advanced Math because he had to work more, but he did well in them. He is doing well in all Honors now but has not found anything at school that drives him. He is happy enough. He’ll take some AP classes in HS and go to a good college an do fine in life.
