[quote=Anonymous]OP, do you have any stats to back up your claims besides ERBs, which are more a reflection of achievement/knowledge does the kid know math facts) than IQ? Also, while I agree the WPPSI is susceptible to parent coaching or home environment, not all kids slip back down to the 80th pctile by grade 3. Heck my kid's IQ rose during this period (bad test day when he was 4, I guess). For the really bright kids, the IQ scores don't fall. That said, my kid was really happy, but not challenged, at private school. There's much more challenge at the magnet. I'm with the PP who said that elementary school is not all about going farther faster. FWIW, the middle school kids[/quote]
