We received Hunter's CMT results in the mail last week. They were exactly what you'd expect from Hunter. He scored in the Advanced range in all four areas of the test but the most impressive results were his Reading Scale Score. See for yourself:
I know, I know. Somebody scrape me off cloud nine. I'm extremely proud of the boy. A few days later we received this in the mail:
Yup. It's about time. Now all I'm wondering is how come it took them so long to figure it out? Is it really that difficult to tell a gifted kid from a regular kid without a test score to back you up? We've only been begging them to challenge Hunter a little more since Kindergarten! That said, hopefully now he'll get the extra challenge and stimulation he needs at school because honestly he's not getting it at home. I mean, I struggled with the kid's third grade math homework. My brain's all but mush nowadays. And clearly Hunter's isn't. He got one of those big Henrichsen brains and it's nice to see it getting put to good use.
I think it is you who should be in the gifted and talented program. You are the one who has been reading to your children faithfully since they were just little beans in your belly. Not only do you read to them stories, but big, long chapter books that challenge them. You get the credit here, kid, not just genes from your hubby!!!
