[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]St Anselm's give 1/3 off and then they can apply for FA. Very few faculty kids are there at any given time because they have to be boys, gifted or at least very smart, etc.[/quote]

This is pretty insulting, PP. I hope you aren't a family at St. Anselm, for their sake.[/quote]

No insult intended. Lots of people don't have boys. Several of the faculty members are monks or unmarried. So lets say maybe 15 faculty members have kids and 8 of them have boys and of those boys 3 are middle/high school age. 1 is not gifted/a gifted education is not an appropriate fit. 2 attend the school. I'm just throwing out completely random numbers (other than the fact that there are several monks and single people), but my point is that it's not an insult to state that every child of every faculty member is not a gifted boy of middle/high school age for whom the school is a good fit.

BTW, I have 2 kids, 1 is gifted and the other isn't, academically. They're both wonderful and in a lot of ways the non-gifted one is actually a better student. However, test-score-wise, that child wouldn't get into a gifted program and it also wouldn't be a good fit for that child's particular skills. [/quote]
