[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You take some steps back and try to accept your kid for who she or he is and enjoy your child and do what is best for your child NOT

your EGO. You get some perspective. You understand a kid can be bright, but may be better suited for General ed than AAP. You get over yourself.[/quote]

That's only if you think the folks in charge of AAP admissions are actually competent enough to identify all kids correctly without even meeting them. Which I don't believe they are. And based on my son's WISC score and GBRS, I know he belongs.[/quote]

+1. I'm trusting a psychologist who met my child over a committee of public school employees who have not. [/quote]

Why exactly would a psychologist be particularly well suited to determining whether a kid was considered gifted?

Also, is this a psychologist you were paying and who knew you were seeking an opinion on giftedness?  Given that factors a psychologist would "assess" are quite fuzzy, I could certainly see how bias creeps into the "analysis."[/quote]

I seriously hope you are joking and are not actually that ignorant about standardized tests and qualifications of a psychologist. [/quote]
