Thanks for the feedback Dottie. I gather that the district may be breaking with best practices by requesting a retest so soon. Is that so? Maybe we should be thankful rather than suspicious of the districts motives. They have said they would be happy to see our daughter qualify and this may be an indication of how far they are willing to go to give her a chance to meet the qualifying score. Would you agree with this conclusion?
Incidentally, we have submitted a portfolio of other "qualifications" - everything from excellent grades at her gifted private school to her standardized test scores and teacher recommendations. We think there's ample broad-based evidence she can more than thrive in the district's GT program. We hope that her full portfolio, including IQ tests, ultimately carry the day.
