Cricket2: re: testing lower with an unsympathetic teacher. DD8 was tested orally for reading in first grade with a teacher she did not hit it off with (the teacher said she fidgeted too much in class, and DD8 SHRINKS from people who do not like her) and her teacher started giving her easy-peasy first grade books to read. I gritted my teeth and finally got her retested, at which point she moved onto a different level (still too easy, but better than before). Then she was tested on the Naglieri, and started getting pulled out for math and reading. (Do not know those scores; our school district only tells you if you made it into the G&T program or not).
