[quote=Anonymous]13:02 your reply makes little sense. Feynman parents are actually pretty laid-back, I would bet moreso than those at most other schools that regularly get lambasted on this forum. But they are very enthusiastic about their DCs' school. One family with two sibs at Feynman actually bought a new home this year in order to be closer to the school. Many of the parents volunteer because they believe they are helping to create something extraordinary for children who would be (and in most cases were) bored at their old school. So when someone posts an uninformed smear such as "...I don't think it's really a school for gifted. It's meant to be a school where parents who like to think their kids are gifted send them," parents are likely to engage in what you derisively call "boosterism". Actually, the MSDE refers young gifted students to Feynman, as do several DC-area educational psychologists, WPPSI administrators and pediatricians. The school follows NAGC best practices for admissions, curriculum and programming. If getting the facts right bothers you, please feel free to ignore the posts. tia [/quote]
