[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not! I clearly recall going to a birthday party at Irvine Nature center for my son's friend who went to St Pauls. He did not get into Gilman despite his dad having gone there and multiple family donations. I was so struck by how slow the kids were. I asked his mom if they "tracked" at at Paul's and she said yes there were three groups. This was confirmed by others. This was clearly the slow class. The parents at this party were all from the county. They all were down to year but not sophisticated at all. I got this same feeling at other parties. When I looked at schools for my daughter I ruled out schools based on this as well.  [/quote]

Oh, I think I was at that party too! Were you the one telling everyone your SAT scores and talking about how many AP classes you took when you were in high school?  That must have been you, so fun! I thought it was so fun when you started quizzing the kids on vocab words while they were serving cake! Great idea to demand math facts in exchange for goodie bags, you gotta make those kids EARN it!

These kid bday parties in the county are such a bore. I know I always appreciate it when another parent whips out a copy of the Stanford-Binet and gives all the children IQ tests. Then things start to get interesting.[/quote]
