[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is in 4th grade at PBES - bright but didn't make it into CES. Here's what he said to me this morning: "Mom, I'm frustrated - there are so many kids in my class that don't take school seriously and they are getting all of us in trouble. It's like all the good kids are in CES now." Just about broke my heart. I'm all about expanding opportunities but I'm personally worried about kids like my son falling through the cracks at PBES - even more of a concern now that so many of the "strongest students" are removed from the general population.[/quote] Teach your child that words matter.[/quote] Teach your kids that missing the cut has consequences, just like living in an area with a large amount of poor people and under achievers. Good schools and poor schools don’take huge differences for brilliant hard workers, they make the difference for average kids and bellow average kids by raising the floor on how far they can fall. What most parents fail to grasp is most kids are average or worse. [/quote]
