[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to know this:  If your child is in the pool, you get a letter sent home about the same day as the test scores (separate envelope, from the county NOT the school) explaing that she/he has made the pool. [b]If your kid is not in the pool, you get an envelope with test scores only (also from the county) but no notice that your child failed to make the pool.  Even if your child misses the pool by one point, [/b]you are out of luck unless you take the initiative and figure out how to parent refer.  It's on the website, but you'll never receive a letter explaining the process and it's easy to just miss all the deadlines.[/quote]

Ha.  This is exactly what happened with one of our older kids.  I was 100% clueless (you don't know about a pool you're not told about, right?)  I was under the mistaken impression that GT meant truly genius (which DD was not in my opinion).  2 years later we had her tested for other reasons and discovered that her WISC scores should have been sufficient for the GT cutoff and she met every objective measure of "gifted."  Maybe we'll get this all figured out by DC#4.  [/quote]
