Thanks for all your answers!!!! I truly appriciate them!!!
Well, in the meantime(as a matter of fact Yesterday) my child was tested. Indeed, they used the RIAS. Yes, my child was recommended to join the gifted program, wheras her best friend was not. But a Conference in August will help us make a more educated decision.(if we,the parents and board -people,want her to join the program or rather have her attend regular 3rd grade)
Questioning my child, the test was too easy. No Math what-so-ever. All you had to do was "Mittens to Hand = Hammer to...", Find what does not belong, and Complete...
Well, thats all I got out of her...(normal)
When I ask Her " What did you do in school today?", the answer is usually " I don't know. I forgot."
Oh, by the way- RIAS only asks for 123 or higher. (co-insides with Pasco County from 15 years ago)
I am still....unsure about this whole "gifted" thing.
