[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't like waiting, but feel fairly certain my kid won't be accepted, so not exactly dying to know?  I hate knowing that his friends will be talking about it in school the next day.  I haven't figured out how to handle his feelings about this yet.  His siblings are all in the program, and he's just as bright (if not more bright) than they are, but is just different in school.  I hate the whole process, and honestly wish they would do away with it  (and just have school-placed advanced math).  But anyway, it would be nice to have it over with![/quote]

I put the fear of god into my child to not make others feel poorly by talking openly, so much to the extent they were terrified to tell anyone and put them under undue stress for being accepted.  We ended up being the parents who surprised everyone at the orientation/info sessions.  Apparently the parents knew 9 kids got accepted and couldn't track down the 9th child.  So I'd second the notion that the parents are more of the culprits than kids themselves as another PP stated.  [/quote]
