[quote=Anonymous]PP I agree with you. It seems like nobody wants to share info. Unless your child is good at advertising his or her brains, he or she will likely get lumped into "average." If you have a kid who loves to rattle off memorized facts your child is more likely get noticed and score well on a GBRS. Kids who find memorization somewhat boring, like spacial thinkers, have more fun exploring ideas. But they don't often broadcast their thoughts. So teachers can easily miss their smarts. I know families who have hired tutors for their kids or sent their kids to additional math classes--not to help a child who is behind, but to get already good students ahead even further. Kids who do those things are going to look "smarter" to teachers. And they are likely going to score higher on a GBRS. [/quote]
