Are the teachers there (Israel) mostly men or women? Just trying to figure this out.
My son's gt class last year was mostly girls, this year he says it's an even mix. I wondered if the mostly (?) female teachers in the u.s. mostly recommend what they see as gifted, at least in the early years.
Mostly women here, too.
However (as I also felt on my own flesh), teachers - men and women alike - tend to encourage boys nore than girls in math and science lessons. I know it has been verified in studies, and i wonder if that is worldwide as well...
Anyway, as far as I know, the screening test they use here is identical to what was mentioned above (WISC-IV), so it is extremely interesting how come there are such differences between the Israeli and the American results...
