[quote=Anonymous]I'm the cynical PP, and I'm in Bethesda, so maybe my perceptions are skewed - no one is ordinary here (just kidding, but sometimes the other parents sound a bit like that.) But my overall point is that unless your kid is truly way out of the norm (not just a 4yo who seems to be on par with 5yos) then you really need to be realistic. K is mainly about the social adjustment to school, and less about jumpstarting little Johnny into calculus. Kids come into K with vastly different abilities and my experience so far is that MCPS (or at least our school) does a great job of cultivating a wide range. And many of the K students who were light years ahead of my child two years ago are not any more. This is presumably why they don't start the gifted programs until a few years in - the early years see a lot of change. [/quote]
