[b]I agree that appropriately rigorous challenge is the best, but the absence of it just means that parent and child have to do more on their own. [/quote][/b]

And this is the rub.  Many parents want their kids in the CES program because the advanced learning goes on during the school day - so that they don't have to do more on their own.  Many of these parents have very demanding careers and little time to engage in home school-type activities.  Many others don't have the educational expertise to teach advanced curriculum to their kids.[/quote]

NP. I refuse to supplement w/academics at home. My 99th %ile kids will do just fine in school, life, whatever.  At home, we focus on play, social interaction, chores/life skills, sports, the arts, etc.  I’ve been told they can register for whatever level classes they want in high school (as long as they have the prereqs), so I feel like all this ES/MS angst over placement is unnecessary.  Yes, they’re a little bored in school, but as long as they’re doing ok socially, it doesn’t really bother me. [/quote]
