[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reminder:  its also week #1... see how things go this month.  Once you aren't in review your child's experience may change.  Also, since this is NW, the non-big-whatever schools do take a mix bag of learners(gifted, kids with LDs, etc.) - this allows your "gifted" kid who would be "meh to good" at STA or Sidwell to be "the smart kid."  We selected Field for this reason for our son who is bright, not sporty and doesn't like to do hours upon hours of homework.  He can be at the top of his class there and really shine.  He would be killed socially and academically at STA or Sidwell and not for a lack of brightness.[/quote]

Trophy parenting at its worst. Rather than placing your child in a challenging environment so that he has to stretch, you put him in an environment where he can coast and feel good about himself.

God help him when he gets to college. He is going to get his ass handed to him emotionally. [/quote]

I don't think this is fair to say. We are in upper primary know and I am really surprised how many students have SN or LD. Not sure if this is just a bad year but the class is getting really divided. How can you teach and challenge everyone where they are? Our school gives every student a lot of time to get up to speed in the lower primary years, however the majority didn't take it as an opportunity to learn at their speed but to slag a little longer. I feel it is well meant by the school but wrongly understood by the parents. [/quote]
