[quote=Anonymous]OMG—the utter stupidity of the OP’s post. I’m embarrassed for them. You do realize that the admissions team at a medical school is not made up of doctors. Same for law schools. Also, no one is determining if someone is gifted or not. Teachers are completing a HOPE scale are answering questions based on observations. It’s the same as when they’re asked to complete a behavior rating scale for ADHD. They’re not diagnosing ADHD—they’re simply answering questions based on their observation in a particular setting. A professional does the diagnosis based on the scores reported. Teachers who are on a central screening committee review multiple data points for eligibility into a program. No one is diagnosing anyone or making a determination that this student is gifted and that student isn’t. [/quote]
