Thinking of all this has led me to the question, do schools typically recognize math minded gifted earlier? Are they expecting a more globally gifted child without asynchronous? Do they not really think at all and simply look at numbers?
This may depend on whether the school is intending to seek and identify
gifted individuals -or- seeking to select students who are the best match to any advanced academic
programs/services which they may have to offer. Recently discussed in
this post.
There is a large difference between creating an educational plan appropriate for a child -or- selecting children for an existing plan: Matching the program to the child -vs- matching the child to the program.
