This is an interesting summary regarding proposed changes to the US approach to teaching math in order to address gaps in performance. Happy reading! ...
My son is in 6th grade and gradewise doing better than ever, which isn't really saying much! His elemetary school grades were always marginal, to the...

Can a child who has been given an IQ test, test into the moderately gifted range but show all the traits of an exceptional or profoundly gifted child? Why I...
I'm sure they can. We know some kids who didn't test gifted who show all the signs of being so.... a couple who have had the fortune of testing later on a...
I haven't had my son tested but I can imagine he would not try or not complete the test or just be goofy or whatever. Also, I work with autistic kids and I...
There really is no reason to retest other than for your personal information. Services schools provide usually don't change to fit the range of Giftedness....
This is very interesting as my youngest daughter had a psychological education testing to see if she qualified for special ed. She was born with a rare birth...
When our son was tested by the public school, he scored a 125 IQ, which they said made him "barely" gifted. That score never really seemed right to me, but I...
We are fans of retesting. We originally tested at 4 and then again at 5.5 The difference was quite significant. We attribute this to several things. ...
Hi Kathy, How much did the testing cost? Thanks Patricia In a message dated 5/9/2009 11:50:57 A.M. Mountain Daylight Time, kathy210929@... writes: When our...
Seems like the cost was around $1200, but that included extra testing to try and have an accurate IQ number. Go to the Gifted Development webside. I was...
...seem to be very important in this forum. Anyone out there have any actual anecdotes about when they realize that their gifted child is not going to be in...
My DD who starts middle school next year has 140 IQ but does not make straight A's. She gets the math answers right without showing her work. I have decided...
my dd is 12, 7th grade, 140 iq and this year has had straight as but barely tries unless it interests her but she can get the as without doing anything even in...
I don't have IQ numbers. The kids were tested in school using a low-end measure that gave percentiles. Honestly, I don't take them very seriously. We have the...
whew, i'm not even sure i should share because my son is SUCH an underachiever when he wants to be and such an overachiever when he wants to be, but not me,...
Indeed, that is exactly it. When I crack down on the homework it takes the boy mere minutes to complete, turns out he knows the subject matter backwards &...

Yes! That is my boy. 11yo and randomly getting a D or an A in any one subject at any one time, capable of an A in EVERYTHING. Frustrating. He gets straight A's...
Bobbie and Christina, I found myself chuckling at this thread. My son is EXACTLY the same as yours. My son is in 8th grade and I'm hear to tell you it just...
As far as scores go, they are nice to look at to know where a child should be placed. To me profoundly gifted or mildly gifted has no real bearing. As a...
... My oldest (now 28) was doing fractions, decimals, and percentages in kindergarten. (We have no idea what his IQ is.) He was reading in 2 languages at a...
i simply cannot find the *right* motivation for my boy because as soon as he loses a privilege from being grounded, he loses ALL interest in it and finds...
lol i'll tell you, my son's brain works so differently i'm not sure i'll ever be able to keep up - lol had him up here with me at work a couple of hours...
I'm finding it very interesting hearing what you all have to say about your kids, and how well they do or don't do in school. My son is almost 6, and finishes...
Haha! Yes! It's a whole "zen" way of thinking, where they don't need any of their worldly goods. Once we went bowling and DS refused to bowl (he often refuses...
You know, that sounds familiar. I think what happens with kids like that is they roll into 1st grade reading and writing which all kids really should be able...
