[quote=Anonymous]We got an email that our DC was pulled from the wait pool for a CES spot. I'm not sure whether or not to send, though. I don't really know anything about the program. How is it different from regular classes? Is it just more work? Are all classes different, or only math and reading? Also, is the program entirely self-contained or do they interact with the mainstream kids at the school?

FWIW, DC is very bright, but, in a weird combination, is both a perfectionist and doesn't have a great work ethic. Is rarely satisfied with just doing their best. It has to be perfect or it's not worth doing at all. For example, if they get stumped on a question on a test, their inclination is just to quit the test altogether and not answer any of the other questions. Obviously something we're working on, but I worry CES will exacerbate these issues.

On the other hand, DC really loves learning, and is very creative. An excellent writer, although they don't enjoy reading or writing. Loves science. Pretty good at math. Is kind of socially awkward and struggles to form close friendships - don't know if CES would be good or bad for that.[/quote]
