In the end I believe in being nonjudgmental. It isn't my place to decide who is or isn't gifted and at what level. But I feel it is our place as a community to give support and to offer up opinions but in a positive way.
Katelyn's Mom, you made such great points! I'd like to think that we all really do believe this too. Sometimes it's fun just to share a silly thought, but everyone here is clearly looking for support.
Btw, my comment about the reading levels wasn't at all about people who are genuinely guessing where their children are. It's really just the seemingly-bragging posts that made me think of this. FWIW, I too didn't realize the difference until DS's testing for K. What he was able to read for pleasure and where his comp. tests scored, while both extremely high, were still multi-grade levels apart. Now that I've gone through that, that's what comes to mind when I see the pre-school brags.
