Which school best supports children who are advanced academically?

[quote=Anonymous]Good point, pp. In additional to starting at a high level, the schools in question do differentiate by grouping kids for reading and math and by offering optional extra challenges, even if they don't accelerate to the degree that public gifted/magnet programs do.[/quote]



I don't know that that is true that Privates start at "a high level". Remember legacies, people with power and influence are not all math geniuses and Nobel Prize winners. They are more likely the type who gave us the derivitives melt down. True, you don't have the developmentally delayed, the violent, the kid with a traumatic home life, but on Lake Wobegone , its ok to just be a "nice kid" from a good family who will support the school's mission $$$. No, you don't have to be smart.

Yes you do have to be smart unless you want to flunk out at the really tough schools such as STA/NCS, Sidwell, GDS, Holton, etc.

Obviously, the private school kids don't engage in "drunkardness" because they are smarter than the public school kids.

Just kidding. The classist poster is an idiot.

That's why GOD invented tutoring starting in 2nd grade. Ever asked yourself why the heck there is such a market for tutors in DC with parents paying up to $100/hr( 180K/year)when a teacher only makes about 70K???. If they were all wunderkinds like you seem to be claiming they wouldn't need that kind of high priced tutoring, would they and it would cost more like $25/hr for a tutor because wealthy parents who just have to have their child in these privates wouldn't be bidding up the rates.
