It's a shame these things happen. We are trying to prove our ds is gifted based on what staff have identified. But his IQ scores are average. The scores don't fit his achievement or observable behavior.
So we as parents support our kids. Despite the labels despite what others think, we know the potential. I no one else understands or sees the beauty of their intelligence, we do.
I found it interesting that Mendel couldn't pass a teaching exam but gave us the basis of genetics. Schools and grades are an indicator of measurable and common characteristics and information. You can't test a persons ability to choreograph dance or create art but they are forms of intelligence an ability.
We have to believe!
