[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My IQ is above 130 but I don't understand the point of you post, OP.  Maybe there's a back story?  [/quote]

There is a backstory on the pet peeves thread.  I'm not sure it's worth getting into though!  This thread can be a good conversation starter without bringing an argument into it right off the bat.[/quote]

Fair enough.  But I don't even understand the point being made.  It's all so vague.  For example, does OP feel that DC privates are (or are not) filled with "gifted" kids but that the schools ignore the profoundly gifted kids?  Can someone please just state the case?  [/quote]

I, the OP feel that DC area privates do not cater to the needs of both gifted and profoundly gifted kids in the elementary years.  Most curriculums are geared towards very bright and hard working children.  They are not set up to challenge a child that is capable of working a full 2 to 5 years ahead of grade level.  This is typically what a gifted child (IQ between 130 -140) has the potential to do.  This is the level a gifted child would need to get the same challenge and academic sweat that a typical child would receive in a typical classroom.
