[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1. My Sept born DC got high scores in test and WISC, but received extremely low GBRS from school. I think some teachers are confused with maturity or intelligence. [/quote]

Exact same situation. Very bright Sept. kid, great test scores, low GBRS. The AART was very dismissive, even when we showed her DC's great WISC scores. In on appeal based on WISC. [/quote]

Same thing here! With great wisc scores (152) and low BGRS (9). Even after seeing the high WISC score the AART was so negative and dismissal. [b]I got a feeling that AART didn't like high wisc since it basically proved their evaluation of my kid resulting in low GBRS was wrong[/b]. [/quote]

this is completely inaccurate. Doesn't prove shit. [b]These two assessments measure different things and bioth can be right. A WISC 157 and a GBRS 9 can both be right.

Really? How about NNAT and FxAT/CogAT? How about all three of them? How about every possible score pointing towards a highly intelligent kid, yet in the classroom the same kid shows nothing even close to "Gifted Behavior" (the G and B in GBRS)? Come on, not even AARTs are buying this... It's exactly as 09:43 said, they become defensive and stick to their initial evaluation no matter what. In our case, she didn't even know that DC was reading above grade... She saw it in the report card (and DRA2) when we pointed it to her! Even then, she didn't flinch, she continue with her mantra that DC (whom I am sure she doesn't even remember) didn't show any signs of intelligent behavior in the classroom. Long live the appeals process![/quote]

Have you seen a NNAT test? WISC questions? These are not regular pencil and paper tests, these are tests that measure giftedness, not skills. Therefore, a stellar performance in these tests is highly correlated to gifted behavior. There is no way that a kid with an IQ of 140 (which I bet you is much higher than the teacher's) doesn't show any signs of gifted behavior in the classroom, particularly if they have no other learning or behavioral issues and do well in their report cards. What are they doing in class? Sleeping? [/quote]
