[quote=Anonymous][quote]I don't see why you are so concerned about private schools not meeting the needs of "highly gifted" children. [/quote] With all respect, PP, your daughter is in kindergarten and most things make 5 yr olds happy unless the teacher really flubs it. Give it time; my children are a little older, at a competitive DC private, and I have to agree with OP (I think; I also don't understand the point?) Your basic Sidwell/GDS/Sheridan/St. Pat's isn't winning any awards for assembling all the gifted (130-40) kids in one spot and teaching them [i]at their level[/i]. There is a disappointing amount of one-size-fits-all going on. At least not in 2nd - 6th grade. I can't speak to MS and HS, but I'm hopeful. At these prices, I had [b]better[/b] be optimistic for H.S., right? Or else this is all a terrible sham.[/quote]
