Jamie B - Well she made it through the play OK. After it was over, her teacher told the whole class that they did a good job and GD asked her, "Me too? Did I do a good job?" DD thought it was sad that she wasn't sure she was included in

I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this. It sounds like maybe the teacher is in a "I learned it in graduate school so it must be gospel" thing, and really she has such limited experience with the real-world. It's lously that you're h

Thanks, Dandy! Because of you, we made the deadline!! Funny, when I first started looking at the programs in September, there seemed like soooo much time to ponder. Where'd all that time go?!

My son's total of scaled scores was 163 and the Full scale IQ was 141 on the SB5. That is a great score!

In 1st Grade DS learned nothing academically, we were expecting this but told him to hang in there that year was about getting use to a new school. In 2nd Grade, he was very disappointed again he knew it all. I was shocked by this and thought, the mo

Also, if you have taken the test prior with qualifying scores and re-take it again this year, they will consider the higher of the scores for classes. (You have to retake for 6th or 7th, I believe)

Thanks everyone! I just felt like I needed a frame of reference as to what this score meant. I don't have the breakdown of what she scored on each subtest, all I got was this one number. I was told that the maximum possible score is 190, so this i

You poor thing. You will hit many bumps in the road along the way and this is just the start. The best thing to do is to go to the principal and speak to them. HOWEVER, first let the teacher know that that is what you would like to do and you you

Opthalmologists tend not to support vision therapy while optomotrists tend to support it. I think there is info online about why this is, exactly. If I recall from what I've read, I think the most common time for kids to be diagnosed with a develop

I work full time from home but I do go into the office one day a week. I'm a computer programmer so while I do have to be available 8-5 or whatever I can do my programming at night if I want. My schedule can be flexible and my boss is really awesome

Well we all know how frustrating this is. My DS is in 4th grad and the school has now just taken away the 45 minutes, once a week slot of stimulating G&T time. I started looking at private schools (which we as well can't afford but are so despe

Jamie B, Just curious, do you work full-time at home or full-time outside the home? Do you think that HSing is even a possibility or is it just not workable?

Thanks mnmom. The school and the gifted teacher have the results (I think) and don't seem to care. I'm hoping to get a call from the principal today to see what they think should be done with him. I'm afraid it's going to be that he should stay where

One boy in our school missed entrance into the G&T program using the WISC IV by a few points as well. His mom had him tested a year later outside and they would not accept his scores. She fought and fought the administration due to her instinct

JamieB, Is your DS just SO over this school thing? It kind of sounds like he knows what he's doing -- smart little thing that he is -- and is getting the only attention they'll give him at school. I think from what you've said he doesn't seem like h

We also tried modifying homework, though a different approach. His teacher, while reluctant to change anything in her classroom, was eventually willing to let DS skip some of the repetition in math homework. If he did his classwork (side A) at 100%

Sorry to add one more thing but the new program is now using the MAPS and COGAT test which I will receive today at conferences so we will see what happens. Thanks again.

Thank you for all your replies. I'm sorry as I did leave out the PSI score which was 103 which was his lowest score. To make a long story short, last year the administration asked for parents to be on a G&T committee. So obviously I was very h

I did a modified version of this. After talking with his teacher about how his math wasn't really at his level, I emailed and asked her if I could substitute out his homework for something more challenging. She didn't respond. So I just started doing
