[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can a kid perform above grade level and not be demonstrating traits for high GBRS? Is the teacher looking for an academically advanced student to prove their curiosity through classroom behavior - asking questions, not appear bored, make themselves noticeable,  demonstrate bubbly personality, etc?[/quote]

Parents supplement at home so the child is ahead academically but not naturally curious or motivated to learn on their own. ES math is taught in a spiral so that there is grade over lap. A parent can drill multiplication tables before they are taught at school so I child might know their multiplication tables, appearing advanced, but not actually understand why the algorithm works the way it works.

A kid can pick up material quickly but not be curious enough to go and read farther ahead on an area of interest. So the kid is picking up concepts quickly but not interested in learning more on their own.

Teachers notice what kids are doing when they complete their work. They see the kids who are picking up books that expand on what is being taught in class.

DS had a classmate who was disruptive and annoying who was accepted into LIV, it is not aboue a kid being compliant or bubbly or well behaved. It is about what the kid is doing in class and how curious they are. [/quote]
