[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Intelligence tests are normed by age, down the the month, so a held back/redshirted kid could still legitimately test as gifted. But yes they do tend to be over-identified. Here is an anecdote for all the people who insist that redshirting is not perceived by children as being held back and that redhirted kids never ever get made fun of for being held back. At some event I overheard a group of about half a dozen kids in the 5th grade who went to different schools discussing who among them was the oldest. When an early summer redshirted girl aas determined to be the oldest, another laughed at her and said "you got held back!" Folks, kids KNOW.[/quote] Only you know you nut [/quote] Nope, kids definitely notice the old kids in the grade. [/quote]
