[quote=Anonymous]I have been following the discussion here for sometime and found the information posted here is very helpful.

We are quite happy with our DC's score (NNAT 160, CogAT 137). However, when we talked to DC's classroom teacher, she thinks DC is not motivated and self driven, and might have difficulty to fit in the challenging GT program.  We were a bit surprised by the reserved if not negative comment the teacher made.

From the posting here, I understand the GBRS rating from school is very important in the selection process. We are trying to schedule a conference with the school AAP coordinator. Since DC has been complaining the school work is boring for him ever since he started 1st grade, we are not sure if we should bring up the issue that he is not motivated because he is not challenged.

How much impact will the teacher's comment have for the final decision? Any suggestions what and how we parents should do to improve DC's chance to get into GT program?

Thanks.
