But a number without context is pretty meaningless, so until he is ready to understand the context...no numbers.
I do share with close family who understand GTness and close friends who understand GTness. No one else. It's a very small group!
And that's another reason as well. I feel that most people have no context in which to understand...other than some people know that 100 is avg. What is the point of providing a number, most people would require a lot of education to go with it...and I don't have the time or desire to do any of that, LOL. I think it is really important that people understand GT before giving them a number. My parents actually know a lot about it (at least have learned a lot since DS4 was about a year old). And once it is out there, it's out there. That is kind of scary to think about. I just hope and pray that the school will use the same discretion when they have the information. Frankly, that whole thought frightens me. What if it leaked out. I can just picture DS coming home and saying "my teacher says I shouldn't act that way because I have a ________ IQ" You just never know.
