I actually had a somewhat promising experience with Logan's teacher during parent teachers conferences yesterday. She mentioned that she felt that when he's older that she would not be surprised if he tested as gifted because he has a vast vocabulary and shows signs of hyperintelligence. I used that as an opportunity to tell her that we were considering having him tested and she offered to refer him to the schools gifted teacher and ask her to spend some time with him. She said that it might take several months, but that if the gifted teacher agreed with her assumption that she felt the school should move forward on his testing.
Because I know it's uncommmon for children in this state anyway to be tested before 3rd grade I was thrilled that she was willing to consider such a thing. We'll see what happens.
