Jolanda,

Hello again.

You been through too much no doubt.

Have you tried the Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children. The scores will be lower but the standard deviations might be more stable than a test using chronological age as a denominator.

Cheers,

O.

Oliver is has nothing to do with the intelligence tests, it has to do with victimisation, bias, manipulation and misconduct by a Government Department. Why doesn't anybody ever focus on them?

How can help people, when they wont help them self's.

Jolanda,

I wish you success and agree Government can be a problem. I can feel for your frustration but the Stanford/Binet was developed circa 1904/5.

With high IQ children the gap between mental age and chronological tends to reduce over time. The Government might be negligent in blocking you and perhaps defaming you [see your solicitor], yet most developmental psycholgists are likely re-test and disgard two-year old data.

If you feel DET is falsely accusing of being vexatious is there an Ombudsman available to you?

Worth noting a few side issues that do not get interest in separate threads are reborn in this one.
If nothing else it highlights some will take any chance to be seen and heard but are not interested in reality.
Gibo Glen Innis indeed has that festival, maybe if you look with an open mind you will see it dates back before the Christ fable existed, in its present form.
We can if we want to be honest see Christianity is not the biggest religion in the world any more was it ever?
And if that is so and if we believe freedom of belief is ok who are we to cry about witchcraft?
If they exist in Glen Innis, and they may not, they are not likely to have any impact worse than Gibo.

Oliver, there are a few Stanford Binets. One is the SBLM and that is an old outdated test that you are talking about, the other is the SB4 and the new one is the SB5. The SB4 was developed in 1986 and it is the test that my children first took and it is a test that is accepted by the DET as a valid test. My children also took the WISC with the same high results.

The DET have presented the Stanford Binet 4 IQ test as the SBLM to the Selection Committees and as an outdated test when clearly the test was the SB4. It was administered by the University of New South Wales Gifted research center. The Selective Schools Unit present whatever picture they want to present so as to achieve whatever outcome that they want to achieve. They also manipulated my children's applications and put lies before the selection committee and the appeals panel so that my children would be unsuccessful then they covered up the complaints.

If you were going for a job and somebody manipulated and tampered with your application so that you would be unsuccessful and you not only needed this job but you deserved it, how would you feel? Then if they did it again and again because nobody would do anything about your complaints what would you do?

Nobody has ever said that my children are not intellectually gifted and my children are consistent high achievers as the level presented to them is too low. What the DET say is that on the Selective School tests on that day they do not get high marks to be put in a Selective School but the documents produced under FOI show extensive evidence of bias, tampering and manipulation and the presentation of incorrect information to the panels.

The Ombudsman is another level of cover up. He can use discretion at will and justify it with lack of funding. He is beyond scruitiny and he doesn’t play fair. Just like so many people for some reason he doesn't seem to care about the children.
