[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Give it a rest already. You sound like you don't even have a kid in the program yet. They don't have "unique" psycho-emotional needs. They are just regular kids who happen to work harder and do well on tests. [/quote] I'm confused, sorry. Are you saying that the CES program isn't for gifted kids? I'd like to hear others weigh in on this. DS has an IQ in the 99.8% and we got accepted into CES, but we were assuming it was a program for gifted kids, not just motivated test takers.[/quote] It's both, and that's fine. The whole selection process rests on standardized testing. There are no teacher recommendations, essays, or parent referrals. So the information they have is basically MAP scores, grades, and the CogAT screener. This means they are going to identify both the "gifted" kids and the bright hard-working kids who test well.
