For all the talk about what test scores mean, I have two DC, one scored 81 on S-B, the other a 99. The one who scored an 81 is a much better student and gets much better grades. Both Dcs are in the same school, too. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Simillar situation here and I can easily say the 99 kid was a PITA from the time he was born. Love him to pieces, wouldn't trade him for anything but, out of three kids, from the beginning I knew he was different and more difficult, too. [ Reply | More

I feel bad for the 99 kid. All the attention and resources are going to the slow kid in our system. [ Reply | More

You're making assumptions without any education information. IQ does nt necessarily correlate to school performance, even in g&t. Without knowing which school it is, the relative intelligence of every child, and what the problems are, you can't even begin to know if it's a problem with the class or the child or the test.

I know high IQ kids often do worse in school. Schools teach to the middle. [ Reply | More

True. Because any kid who doesn't get a 99 is "slow." [ Reply | More
