I was surprised too. But her GBRS is AMAZING in the level of insight the teacher provided with specific examples. The work samples also are excellent. Have you read the GBRS of your child?[/quote]

I'm surprised she only got a 12 in that case.  A 12 GBRS is a fairly weak endorsement of the child for AAP.  [/quote]

I don't know what to say pp. This is my first child and I am not used to the US education system as I am from another country. If my child had gotten a perfect GBRS, I would tell you something was wrong because she is not a perfect student. We do have some problems with social behavior.

In the "Exceptional Ability to Learn" she got a 4 and the teacher stressed over and over "extraordinary ability to retain new information in long term memory with little obvious effort....remarkable ability to focus on a task, use of advanced vocabulary,.... quality thinking, quickly comprehends....etc"

Exceptional Application of Knowledge 3: "able to focus on important crux of a situation.... understands how to sort relevant information from irrelevant information in finding the real problem... her products are completed with thought and effort...shows she has thought about a topic from class in much greater depth and detail...researched and interviewed female classmates to find out what books they were reading and then introduced the idea for a book club, .... uses effective analogies to emphasize a point, make a connection or clarify concept to others... etc"

Exceptional Creative/Productive Thinking 3 (goes on to detailed insight)

Exceptional Motivation to Succeed 2 (detailed insight as well).[/quote]
