[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, a lot of animosity toward Feynman here ... any of the naysayers send their DCs there?  The school always gets great reviews from parents (see GreatSchools, Patch) and it is a STEM-focused school with the support and guidance of top university scholars in gifted education.  These are kids whose only other option for enrichment might be Johns Hopkins CTY which is pretty limited in scope.  Bethesda Magazine just posted a blog featuring Feynman: [url]http://www.bethesdamagazine.com/Blogs/Education-Matters/September-October-2012/Cant-Find-a-School-for-Your-Gifted-Child-Start-Your-Own/[/url]

Feynman is one of the few private schools growing in a rough economy.  For some reason, a couple of posters on these boards seem threatened by it, not sure why. [/quote]

I can't speak for the bashers because I wasn't one if them. But I think a big part of the negative reaction here is against the Feynman boosterism. There were a few Feynman threads last year that were totally over the top, booster-wise. So you get the same eyerolls and pushback Holton Mom gets. Maybe tone it down until everyone forgets?
