Keshav's ITBS:
When Keshav was denied from the 'Create & Think' program, I had no idea it was going to transform me into this overly obsessed person I have become today.
Since, the very first day of First grade, it has secretly, deep within me, been my goal to make Keshav get into the "Gifted & Talented" program in Second grade.
I did everything I could. We bought practice books from amazon & made him work on it, both for his NNAT & ITBS. In all his practice tests he did very good. From the whole book, maybe he got 10 wrong.
His NNAT score was awesome. He scored 46/50. Wonderful.
But, out of 150 1st Grader's only 20 are selected for the GT. So, he has to score well on his ITBS as well.
He took the test in Apr. Today, it is the 15th of May. Chances are the results are not going to be in until Jun. Jun 6th the school closes for summer. It is really really making me nervous.
14th May:
I spoke with Elaine: (For the very first time) Her son Thomas, Keshav's soccer mate from CT seems to have a lot of homework. She says even more than her elder son. Whereas Keshav gets one page homework. She is a dedicated PTA. Is that how she got her son into CT? Her son is a little stout & runs really weirdly. It is hard for me to accept him as a smart person. Would a dedicated PTA, after all her time of work at school, still sit with her son, like I did & made her practice for ITBS?
I need to know the ITBS results.
15th May:
Keshav mentioned Krish's photo was on the school year book. He won something. I remember Keshav saying Krish won the Spelling Bee competition. Is that why his photo was there?
I need to get my hands on a copy of the year book & find out.
Can Krish & Keshav be classmates next yr?
Jennifer, Giana's mom at Sabella's B'Day party @ Colorado Canyon: Out of context, for no reason came up to me & says "Giana is in Mary Morelle's class. She likes it very much." I answered "Good for her".
Oh, I so want to get a payback. Prove, Keshav smart.
If the system works well i.e., purely based on NNAT & ITBS we will know who is really smart & who isn't.
