[quote=Anonymous]OP here. 10:16, your previous post is very thoughtful and helpful in teasing out whether BFCD is the right school for our DC. Thank you. I fear DC is the type of gifted child that will love getting extra recess time. :) As a parent, my dilemma is trying to figure out if it's okay just to let this be or whether we should encourage (rather than push) DC to do more with said gift. Ideally, we'd like a balanced environment where there's strong encouragement to excel and challenge oneself, without that turning into an excessively pressured environment where grades are all. Which do you think are the schools that are better "geared for their level of ability right from the get go"? In particular, are there schools with teaching environments that encourage doing one's best and challenging one's self, rather than competition with others? We want to avoid schools that foster a zero sum game approach to academics. [/quote]
