[quote=Anonymous]I've love to get your thoughts on this situation.  My DD received a 148 on the NNAT, and her CogAT subtest scores were 130 (nonverbal), 123 (quantitative) and 122(verbal).  Her grades are good - mostly Os and some Gs.  However, DD is not in the accelerated pull-outs, and her teacher frequently has pointed out that DD is slow in completing projects.  (She is usually precise, but has had a few outlier S's on quizzes.)

DD's teacher and I have a good relationship (I'm the room parent, and teacher taught DD's cousins, who both qualified for GT).  Teacher said she won't mention the "slowness" and will put forth a favorable GBRS, but suggested supplementing with work samples and recommendations - which we are definitely doing.  However, I have since been told by an experienced parent that, with high test scores, we shouldn't have to supplement at all, unless we need to counteract an unfavorable GBRS.

Has anyone experienced this?  Is this a bad omen that the teacher is suggesting supplementing, or is it typical even for kids that are in the screening pool?
