[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid doesn’t get into some mildly advanced academic program it won’t affect his life. Really, it’s OK.[/quote] So far, my 2nd grader hasn't learned anything in school that he didn't already know. He is not engaged. I don't want elementary school to be hard, but I want him to be engaged. [/quote] You've no idea how many parents of base kids say this. This is NOT a basis to determine admission. Second grade isn't hard for most, esp. in this area. Moreover, it is an insufferable statement because I'm certain he didn't know 100% of the material in...let's say - social studies - going in. Truly gifted kids aren't bored. (I know, I know, some will pile it on and say this isn't so but I've attended training sessions on this AND seen this in my classrooms.)[/quote]
