He scored a composite 99 on the Iowa skills and aptitude test 6 years on a row, meaning he scored higher than 99% of the kids his age in the nation that took that test. That's also the highest score possible. in the most recent test he scored a 99 in vocabulary, reading comprehension, reading total, math computation, and scored a 98 in problem solving and data interpretation. That's one point away from perfect. Kinda like missing one question on the SATs. I asked him one time how much effort he put into getting a good score on that test. His answer was,"I just go as fast as I can to make sure I'm the first one done". He attends a blue ribbon private school that is very advanced but he got a B+ on his report card this year. That screwed up his perfect record so far of all A's and A+'s. He said his teacher just didn't like him so she gave him a B+. I scheduled an appointment with the liberal arts major and she said that he scored high enough on all his work to get an A (95) but since it was so easy for him she felt he should have done much more. She said she would have given him an A if he scored 96 or higher even though the bar was set at 90 for the rest of the class. She did not care at all for my opinion that I shared with her. She was let go during the summer and will be teaching at a public school from now on where she belongs. Either there or at a fast food window. He's been moved up one grade and they want to move him up another but I keep saying no. |
