[quote=Anonymous][quote]Blaming the kids who are 7 or 8 for not trying hard enough to show off how smart they really are...[/quote] The Gifted Behaviors Rating Scale includes a number of different categories that don't necessarily involve a student trying hard to show off how smart he or she is. In addition to being rated on ability to learn and application of knowledge, children are also rated on creative/productive thinking and motivation to succeed. Go to the link and read the list of traits that are rated. Traits like sense of humor, leadership ability, curiosity, and responsibility, among others, are rated and do not involve showing off how smart someone is. Not all gifted children exhibit all of these traits, of course, as some will be more talented in some categories than in others. http://www.fcps.edu/is/aap/packet/Fillable_AAPGBRSwithCommentary.pdf [/quote]
