 I've never pushed for gifted services in my APS school and my DC was identified by various teachers throughout elementary school and middle (we're at Williamsburg now.) Also, we are totally unconnected to the PTA--in fact, we're not into networking/socializing with other parents for the most part. So, it can be done independently.

Nice it worked out for your child. My child tested in the 99th percentile on 2 IQ tests. Teacher said he he didn't seem gifted because he "doesnt seem interested in school." She's right, he's not into it! This woman wouldn't know gifted if it looked her in the eyes. It kills me that [b]people with no training [/b]or even just general sense have this much impact on gifted services. [/quote]

Where is the evidence that she has no training? Because she does not agree with you that your child is gifted? What kind of training do *you* have?[/quote]

Seriously? This teacher is incompetent if she doesn't flag a kid at the 99th percentile on IQ tests as gifted. That's pretty much the definition as gifted. [/quote]
