[quote=Anonymous]Also, the idea that there's any substantive "free GT screening" is just false.

There's the HGC test but that has no bearing on your neighborhood school experience if you don't get into HGC.  
   
 
Hi, what I meant by free GT screening is that if the kid is in the private schools, the parent has to keepup with the applications and the dates, and then have to separately get all the recommendation letters and all those from the private school teachers. I was under the impression that if the child is in the class, and the teacher has an opportunity to see the kid first hand and then recommend then they will have a chance, ofcourse the kid has to pass the test too.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.

And another reason is, I can leave my DC there for 5th grade and move to next private school, but i also want my DC to see the bad behavior, so moving forward the kid knows what choices to make, and how the choices affect life.  In Seneca Academy, i really like that the kids are very well behaved, but i feel they are also sheltered.  I cannot decide which way.
thanks
