I would have wanted to slap her.
Personally I would have wanted to share with her an online tool to efficiently, accurately provide the student's age in years, months, days on the date of the test... because this is what would help the children, ongoing. Many may benefit. The gifted teacher may be suffering a bit of fixed mindset, and may benefit by knowing there is help available, both in the form of a technical tool... and also staff members watching out for each other, a safety net, a team to count on. Growth mindset can be both contagious and inspirational. Sometimes it does not matter who was right first... as much as it matters that we can help more people "get it" and be right: doing the right thing for the children.
Meanwhile, knowing errors may occur, parents may wish to calculate their child/ren's age in years, months, and days when their child is taking any screening assessment or test. This calculated age may be kept in the parent's file of advocacy records in the event it is ever needed.
