In Kindergarten, Damian was using Hooked on Phonics at home. He begged me for it because he wanted to lean to read. 2 months in, the teacher asked me to please stop doing it with him because he was too far ahead of the rest of the class.
Ask her if they also "hobble" the fastest kids on the athletic field just to keep things "fair."
What if I am right and this child really needs more from the school, but his test scores don't reflect it? Is that even possible?
I vote that it is definitely possible. Our son would not have qualified for many (majority?) of GT programs across the nation were he judged only on his SB-5 scores. Thankfully, he already had a WISC & WJ -- along with a handful of other tests -- that showed an entirely different child. His real-life experience and performance definitely reflect the higher results.
Doesn't America want smart children???
I think most of America wants the smart children... but not enough people understand the proper care & feeding required for many of these little treasures.
