But our 1st grade teacher did discount it! It happens every day. As Cathy rightly noted, there are surely lots of kids who get missed being IDd entirely because they aren't fast.
It's an assumption that GT=fast, and you know what happens when you assume...
Honestly, I think I'm more troubled by the notion that someone on this forum is defending this assumption as being somehow valid and is saying the schools don't have to serve these kids. I have a very big problem with that!
I mean, I assume we all agree that a 2E kid should be accomodated, but my PG kid with only slightly above average speed and memory scores should get nothing? That's fine?
Harumph!
I think it's a problem with the system and it should be fixed, not something we should just accept as okay.
