[quote=Anonymous]It depends. If they really want it and they're at the level where they won't be totally stressed out with keeping up in the classes, I'd be fine with it. If getting in would require Herculean effort and they'll spend four years of their life struggling to pass their classes and are borderline suicidal from the stress, then no. We've got a few years before it's an issue, but based on what I know of my kids' level of ambition, drive, and achievement, I don't think they'd hack it and I don't think they'd want it anyway. I'm perfectly fine with that. I do want them to go to a better school than Lewis HS, with peers who are more at their level (above grade-level, but not all Einsteins) so they're actually pushed a little and learn something. Right now, except for the one in the AAP center school, most of their teachers spend all their time with all the lower achieving kids, while kids sit bored and twiddling their thumbs...so frustrating.[/quote]
