So we decided not to pursue private testing with the GT specialist for $$$$$$$$$$$$ at this point. But I am still concerned that dd6 i K may not be getting what she needs (see what a child doesn't learn) and don't think her teacher has any clue what she is capable of. I go between thinking she is more GT than dd12 (dys qualifying) to thinking she is just fine in k with same age peers. So I talked to the university who will do WISC with grad student for $150, but they need a form from school requesting it.
Did not want to approach school yet. But, assistant principal is very nice, handled dd12's acceleration process, has gifted endorsement, so I decided to just go ahead and ask if he would fill out form.
The GT ID process starts at school in fall of first, but I am concerned group test would miss dd, and that she will not learn good work habits, and she might even be a candidate for acceleration and I would like to make that choice sooner rather than later if so. We shall see what happens! I guess eventually they would find out I was "that parent" with dd6 too...
