[quote=Anonymous]My child got 154 WISC without any prep.  All family members score above 140 on official IQ tests.  Never thought my kid is gifted till the scores came in, and till he started to complain about his second grade work and teacher….  He did great in class works and was able to do 4th/5th grade math. But he ended up spending 5-10 mins doing the entire class’ work, he asked for extra worksheets and was denied by the teacher, had nothing to do for the rest of the time.  He took books to class then teacher complained about he was reading books in class, he got so frustrated with the teacher.  Of course he started picking up teachers mistakes, that didn’t go well either…

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The gifted will standout with their scores (>140 NNAT and CoGAT, with a similar WISC, regardless of poor GBRS).  The borderlined will need the parents to work hard to build a good relationship with the teacher for a nice GBRS.[/quote]

Our teacher at a center school said this profile would not be admitted to AAP because it was clearly a prepped kid. Said you need both the test scores AND the class work/behavior to get in. [/quote]

But let’s be clear that some teachers consider a very narrow sliver of behaviors to support a gifted score on GBRS. All of these stereotypes, plus the stereotype that a kid can’t score over 140 and not be prepped, are causing lots of gifted kids to be maligned.  It is not good for society to not be supporting the best of the best.[/quote][/quote]
