My younger son's PreK teacher told me over and over again how gifted he was and I was the dismissive one. I thought he just looked good to them because English was his first language and most of the kids in his class were just learning English...of course he looked sharp.
It took an entire year of K for me to get on board with the gifted thing and he was screened for gifted services by the guidance counselor and didn't meet the screening cut off (K-Bit). But now I am certain he is quicker than the average bear. What LOG he has I don't know. He will probably be screened again this year.
