It's interesting because around here I think a lot of people wait so patiently for that third grade test and depend on the school to let them know if their child is GT.

That never made much sense to me, but I'm the kind of a specialist snob. I've had the same pediatrician for 8 years and he knows me and likes me. But the 10 ped's I "interviewed" before I found Dr. Right probably aren't so fond of me. grin

Advocating at school can be an uphill battle with or without a previous gt eval. Or it can be a great experience. There's no real good way to tell until you get there.
