Hi All,
I was just reading the post by JAXMOM and felt "relieved" and heartened to know that having my child tested by a professional psych due to test results by school psych is a good step.
The school psych had not given the WISC IV test before and hadn't worked w/ gifted children; her focus is on special ability children. We didn't agree with the reading #'s and also looked at the results and found a couple of blatent scoring errors.
We requested to have our child moved into 1st grade (missed cutoff by 3 weeks), but WISC IV showed gifted in math, but just barely average in reading, so they wouldn't do it. He comes home and says "I'm not being challenged in school."
How many also teach their gifted kids actively at home to keep them interested? I'm wondering what the next 11 years are going to be like if at Kdg we are all ready having problems.
Thanks.
