I didn't come right out and ask the results but she did say we would like to bring in the GATE coordinator to determine if he is a high acheiver or gifted. Now I must have looked incredulous at the statement, not that I am convinced that he is gifted but because those tests can't possibly determine between the two. Can they?
I ran into the high achiever vs. gifted issue with DD7's school. When I mentioned it to the private assessor, he asked a good question.
"Why can't she be a high achiever
and gifted?"
I was also going to wildly speculate that it was some sort of district developed end of year test...the kind that has none of those pesky norms to deal with.
