[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Her snowflake is so bored that he can't be bothered to do his work.  I'm sure there's a way to blame this on the teacher.[/quote]

Snarky much?  Or just jealous?  I don't know what your point is other than to put people down.  I actually HAD a point -- that sometime kids do really well on the tests, but the GBRS is low b/c the teachers don't see the kid showing effort in school.  My point is quite relavant to the OP's situation.  It's not just me saying that the kid is disinterested/bored -- his teacher is saying the same thing.  SHE's the one saying that DC reminds her of her oldest child who bloomed in 5th-6th grade when something finally interested him.  So take your condescending judgment somewhere else.

And for the record, I never blamed the teacher, nor did I say that DC shouldn't have to do the work that is being asked of him.  In fact, I made it clear that even to me, it doesn't look like DC's work is on par with his peers.  But, I know, AND his teacher knows, that DC is far more capable than he shows in his written products.  In fact, in the same conversation, his teacher said "that's why we don't select for AAP at this age, b/c some of them just don't show it yet in class."

NO.  she hasn't given a GBRS b/c he's in first grade.  She's just making the comment that she doesn't see superior effort yet she knows that HE knows far more than he shows in his work products--- perhaps b/c of comments he makes in small group lessons or b/c of books he takes out from the library or whatever.  I don't know her reasons.  DC does go to all the pull outs with AART --- so clearly someone has understood that he has some native abilities.  [/quote]
