[quote=Anonymous]I’m not allergic to gifted kids. I’m allergic to people who constantly need to share their child’s alleged giftedness in public when it’s in no way necessary. It’s performative to ask about this in a crowd of 200 people. You can email admissions directly. And as for asking about testing, you really want to read the room. If a school is talking about holistic assessments and progressive education and says outright that they don’t focus on ERBs, then asking follow up questions about standardized testing is a waste of everyone’s time and shows you haven’t been listing or are totally unaware of the concept of fit. As for the second comment, I say this as a 1st generation Asian person. So take that as you will. Some people don’t want a school focused on STEM or a math/science powerhouse. That’s the beauty of this country- we have all sorts of people with a variety of talents who contribute to our success.[/quote]
