[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, perhaps it's gender then? [/quote] I don't think that the previous illustrates that gender is a deciding factor, I think an important factor is the teacher recommendation. I have heard many times of a kid with high scores being tanked by a teacher rec -- about teachers who "don"t believe" in giftedness and thus won't write a rec or won't write a good rec, or teacher's deciding another child deserves a slot 'more" and says so in the rec., etc. I also see many times in the classroom in general when teachers miss a bright child, because that bright child isn't docile and obedient and a teacher's pet (which probably affects boys more than girls).
