I don't mind giving details, just feels weird talking about others.
Mainly, there is a very bright little one in DS8 class that I was POSITIVe would be there with him, and she's not! Her mom said the child didn't want to go into the G&T so maybe she fudged the test - but the teacher said her scores were consistent with MAP scoring and such. But another little girl that doesn't seem to hold a candle to her (but rather bright too) and did get in... just surprising that it was one and not the other.
Then there is another child, well, at one point in working with him I thought he might have some LD issues. He's an avid reader and reading at a few grade levels ahead - scored high enough to have a composite of 130ish. There was roughly a 16-20 point score difference btwn reading, quantitative & non-verbal.
I am simply shocked that this child would have made it esp. when the other girl didn't. the difference between the 2 is like night and day - literally.
Another "friend" told me that there is a bit more to getting into the GT than the scores... what does that mean????
