[quote=Anonymous] First, IQ is not the only criteria for choosing special programs. Maybe at some point your kid will indeed need something else. Second, they're trying to be nice, OP. Just say you're not interested and that your kid is thriving where he or she is. I have a truly gifted (very high IQ) child who is happy at her neighborhood high school, no special programs. I also have a "merely" above-average IQ child with autism and ADHD who did better in a gifted program, because he was rigid and couldn't deal with his neighborhood school environment. He's now in college, in one of the top programs in the nation for his major. Every kid is different. Observe and understand yours, serve their needs. That's all. [/quote]
