[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here: I never thought that there could be disruptive kids in a class at this level-this is not a public school. [/quote]
There's always disruptive kids at the elementary/middle school age. There may be less than public school on average, but they do exist. This is an enrichment program and like all other enrichment programs they can only filter for ability for a specific class, not for behavior.[/quote]

Of course they can filter for behavior. They aren't bound by crazy equity laws. [/quote]

Ditto![/quote]
No, they really can't. There's no behavior placement test, if that's what you're suggesting. Once they're assigned a specific class based on ability, if they start being disruptive in class it's not that easy to kick them out unless they display serious behavior issues. If a significant chunk of the class is disruptive, loud, or talking out of turn, it's much more likely they will remain and much less likely to be forced to leave class.[/quote]
