Hi Newbie - Welcome! FSIQ with 140 is a very high score - particulary for a worried guy who could see those numbers - perhaps he was bolstered up by those '2' afterall.

My heart goes out to you, because you want to do the right thing and let the school know your son's experience, an yet, politically, is this going to mean that you lose points with the school - just as you are potentially trying to do some advocacy work.

I know that I would want to know, but one reliable thing is that most humans have a thick streak of defensiveness, and that very few of us welcome bad news. I believe that a disproportionate number of us 'bad news welcomers' are gifted, so it's hard to not project our own attitudes onto everyone, but it's a skill worth learning.

Bottom line: If there isn't any advocacy that needs to be done, or you are leaving town soon, then 'share' but if you are the beginning of that long advocacy haul, skip it. Your duty to your individual child is much stronger than to those abstract 'other similar children of the future' - and that takes most of us Gifted parents a long bitter time to learn too. I think we are disproportionately idealistic, and tend to project that as well.

Or am I just projecting?

LOL,
Grinity
