Okay if you read my earlier...DH had the school test SD10 to be in the Gifted and Talented (GT) program.

I kept my mouth shut, but inside I KNEW that she wouldn't make it into GT. I do not mean this in a bad way, but SD10 is....well...an average student. Seriously. She's average. No part of me ever saw any "gifted" qualities in her. She is an average kid.

Well, she didn't make GT. We got the letter today. It said exactly what I thought: "Average". DH is throwing a fit about it because "SD10 is soooo much smarter than that piece of paper says!!"

I hate to be mean...but SD10...well...she is NOT all that smart. I don't mean to be mean. But she's not. Some of the things that prove she doesn't belong in GT:

--She thought that when you burn a candle and the wax "looks wet" that you blow it out. She couldn't comprehend that wax melts when it's hot.
--She can't tell time.
--She can't accurately count money.
--She doesn't understand BASIC punctuation. Like, to capitalize the beginning of a sentence; to capitalize proper nouns; etc.
--She frequently asks which bathroom in public is the womens...oh, I don't know, SD10, maybe the one with the picture of the girl that says WOMEN?

I mean I understand all kids have their shortcomings and SD10 is no different. But HOW did DH see all that, and still think she belonged in GT?!

And if you are curious, her grades are well, average. SOme As, a few Bs, and right now, a D and an F. Yet he thinks she is too smart for regular work. :?
