[quote=\"Nebbermind\"]Think we have no problem agreeing most of the time...just that (for me) it's really unpleasant :gloomy: to have people trying to put down the GEP kids if the kids failed to conform to their own expectation.

Actually it reflects on ourselves poorly to bash up 1% of the children. They are children after all. Whether people believe they are gifted or not, it is not important. What I do know is parents actually prefer the children not to be so-called gifted because it comes with its own set of problems which many people cannot understand. Of course, worst of all, envy that comes with nasty remarks do not help these children.

Now I understand completely why MOE does not want to provide more info on the successful GEPpers because they understand, there is no need to show track record of the success, that is not the objective to begin with. Wise move MOE.

Lastly, of course giftedness can be observed from young. If a child has never been taught things and yet he/she can do it themselves plus parents are clueless in those areas, are those not born gifts? No relevant exposure at home at all and yet it can surface. :rotflmao:
(This is my definition of giftedness by birth, not what they can achieve like Lim Jeck and Sheldon who have the benefit of translating their giftedness to achievements)

People can talk about Lim Jeck and Sheldon but everyone knows they have the relevant background to bring out their gifts and to their maximum potential. They are doubly blessed, with gifts and with great parents who know or have the ability to know how to nurture their gifts. That is why you do not see Lim Jeck suffering that he is not in GEP. In fact, he will suffer the English in GEP badly if he dislikes language pressure and he has wise parents who acknowledge that staying out and self-nurturing helps him more. On the other hand, Sheldon is a gifted all-rounder who fits the GEP. The good news is both are endorsed gifted. They are good examples to understand MOE's model of gifted programme and why some GEPpers can also struggle in there for the curriculum for areas they do not thrive.

If a child has been greatly exposed by either parents being in the field or having siblings and can learn fast then perhaps parents would be more suspicious if it is a gift. Otherwise the innate ability is pretty clear to what I have seen in true GEP children.

HAST got different levels. Njc used middle secondary level not sure about ACSI. Heard stories that RI and VS used lots of similar questions for GAT. However RI allows 20 minutes for 60 questions but VS allocates 1 hour

I have administered the HAST at high school before, I found the questions totally fun and no skills are required. The timing is always sufficient and strict, and everyone should be able to finish. The ones who 'get it' get it immediately, those who cannot, cannot lor. We are supposed to find out the capabilities of a child through such tests, never about how fast they can write. HAST is not developed in Singapore, only Singaporeans develop tests to test how bad our kids are, others develop tests to test how GOOD the kids are.

well said......my dd no1 said moe out there to penalise marks whereby oversea markers out there to award marks....

mine will be taking PSLE in 2013…
