Thanks for the insightful tangent, AlexsMom
I think the stumbling block is more like the second example, so talking to her about trying on the pretest is a good idea.
Further, it's my understanding that she may learn better from the types of instruction given in the "higher" group (the enrichment assignments often approach the material in ways that excite and stimulate her more, and they are not given in the "middle" group), so even though she may not know the material well at first, she may learn better with the type of instruction given in the "higher" group that she didn't test into.
I think I need to get a better understanding of what's going on, and so will chill for now.
Will update after next pretest!
Thanks so much,
