[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here comes my observation, sure to be flamed.  Often the exceptionally gifted child (IQ above 145) comes with other issues that can be misconstrued by over-worked or under-trained teachers.  That seemingly lazy, disengaged, self-absorbed, disruptive child could be the next Einstein (who probably would have scored a 2 on the GBRS ).[/quote]

totally agree.  this happened with my DC.  [b]teachers mistake raising your hand all the time for giftedness.[/b]  [/quote]

Absolutely. Because we as parents know far more about all gifted kids and their potential than [b]teachers who have been trained to look for gifted traits [/b]and behaviors.[/quote]

To say that teachers, all teachers, are trained to look for gifted traits is ridiculous.  They have absolutely no training in this area.  They teacher 25 to 30 kids a year and their average classroom IQ is probably 115.  To think they are experts in understanding giftedness is comical.  [/quote]

All [b]Advanced Academic Resource Teachers (AARTs)[/b] in Fairfax County Public Schools are and have been trained to look for gifted traits.

I am confident that [u]you do know[/u] that the AARTs coordinate the GBRS with Commentary, since you yourself are so well-trained on how the process works in Fairfax County Public Schools.[/quote]
