[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There will always be kids like PP's and those who get near-perfect SAT scores without prep and stress. I have an older sibling like that with a brain for taking tests. IQ, achievement, you name it. If it's an intelligence or achievement test it comes back 99th percentile. My sibling did not prep for the SAT yet scores were high enough for HPY. Sibling was also very relaxed about school. Things were very easy.

Such kids exist so stop jumping on PP.[/quote]

Two kids went or is in HS magnet.  Going to the Magnet was never a goal for the the parents and kids.  Child one was  bored to death in home MS but started to enjoy school  after got into HS magnet   Child two was slow in speech but came hone one day in 3rd grade announced that he was scheduled to take the CES test.  He is in HS magnet now.  Not every parent plans every step for their child.

There are so many supper smart kids in the Magnet.  Some of them are genius.

There are lots of those kids in the magnet.  They balance the academic demands and still play varsity sport or devote themselves to clubs like ROBO.  They have near perfect GPAs and SATs.  I think the magnet staff who does the selections are really good at finding the right kids for the program.  My child loves the magnet, never had any prep and would never describe it as going through the wringer.[/quote]
