[quote=Anonymous]Mom of two preschoolers here. The eldest will be in kindergarten in a year and a half, and we're in a neighborhood that feeds into Haycock. In talking to neighbors, I've learned of the crowding issues and the current AAP proposals. It's making me think more about whether we want to stay in this district or look at other areas before my kids start school. One of my main concerns is just the whole concept of having a massive gifted program housed at a neighborhood school. To parents with kids at Haycock, how do you feel the presence of the center affects your kids in ways beyond academic instruction? Do you feel kids not in the program are stigmatized? What about the kids who [i]are[/i] in the program? Do they seem to have a view that they're somehow smarter or more likely to be successful than the other kids? What other social dynamics exist at the school related to the gifts vs. non-gifted separation? TIA for your thoughts![/quote]
