After my DS had his WJIII achievement test, scored 9th grade overall, the GT teacher said, " I had no idea, he's like a genius, Who knew they had above level testing like that?"
During a meeting with the principal, she said, "you don't have to work so hard at this(advocacy)." Obviously, she does not get my DS's position. It's hard to imagine a principal saying don't learn more, I think she would take this back if she understood.
AS a parent of a child who could of taught most of his 1st and 2nd grade I can not just sit back and say the school will take care of this. How could I ignore this situation when in 2nd grade he was given a SRA reader level books he read in K. This was after he scored 99% on IOWA tests. This seems like a reason for the school to watch out this child is being challenged.
This is not to say these are uncaring people. They just don't get it YET! I'm on a mission.
