It�s more that, as gratified says, I�d like to know whether with his WPPSI scores he�s 1/1000, 1/10,000, or 1/20,000. I�m pretty sure he�s closer to the 1/1000 level, but knowing where he falls would give me a little more drive to decide whether a grade skip is truly called for.
Hi Mia!
Sounds like you are on the right track. Meet before letter, or letter before meeting, whatever - as long as it's soon. Try to give way on the small things. You can also bring the letter to the meeting, distribute it to all, and read it aloud.
I'm a little confused by the above. Are you saying that if your kid is 'really' 1/1000 you'd be less likely to push for the skip and if the kid is 1/10,000 then you'd be more likely? LOL!
Personally I'd be more likely to push for a full grade skip for a 1/1000 kid because then they could pass for MG, and have a that coveted 'normal childhood' while a 1/10,000 kid is really going to need so much more I might get overwhelmed and give up!
Not really I guess, but I am having that 'what am I reading?' feeling. I'll try to be clear. It's only LOG up to a point. After 1/1000 rarity, any gradeskip might help, but it's the personality and the school fit that really determine if the gradskip is needed.
Anyway, good luck, I'm glad we're all in this together!
