Yes, it would be a blast to meet up at a conference! Maybe we could just arrange one and call it the "Gripe about your GT issues in real life" conference and we could have it somewhere over a few bottles of nice wine. I know it would be good for my mental health. Ahhh ... gotta dream.
And I do have to say, our district does do the NNAT at K and at 2nd grade level, so kids really do get a chance to show their stuff. And many schools actually USE this info (unlike ours). I know some people don't like the NNAT for highly verbal kids, but it does give those ELL and kids who don't have any real preschool a shot to be identified.
