[quote=Anonymous] "I'd love to find a school for brainiac kids that isn't a pressure cooker. But that doesn't seem to exist in this area." I say I want that as well, but then when looking at Ideal School in Loudoun, I jumped right to the college acceptances page. So I really want a school for gifted kids that isn't a pressure cooker, but the kids also get into some top 10 colleges. Yeah, that's not going to happen. I agree though. My DC was at an academic camp, and the kids had such fun working together and they learned a lot. Wish school could be like that. I also worry about the more progressive schools and ones like The Ideal School. Are they teaching the basics and then doing hands-on, or are they missing some of the basics with all the "real-world hands-on" learning. [/quote]
