[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're assuming that the classroom teacher, AART, etc. know how to identify gifted baheviors. That is not always the case. They're not necessarily behaviors many lay people assume they are but one would hope educators would know that and know how to spot them. [/quote]

So you think an AART has no training in spotting gifted behaviors?? Come on. They’re not just plucked off the street and left to figure out how to do their job. [/quote]

Exactly.  Sure, I think my kid is smart.  But I don't presume to know more than my kid's AART when it comes to spotting gifted behavior.  And this is because: (1) I have no degrees, training, or hands on experience in elementary education (other than having once been a child myself); and (2) I lack the ability to be objective when it comes to my own kid.[/quote]

I do know my own kid more than them.  No one else had "concerns" because kiddo was performing on grade school, but I knew something was going on based on inconsistent test results - and turned out my kiddo is 2E with ADHD.  I don't really "blame" them though, I agree 2E was a tough nut to crack to figure out.[/quote]
