[quote=Anonymous]PP makes a really good point. DC is full of smart children with engaged parents who are committed to giving their child every opportunity to blossom. This means that magnet schools and gifted programs are absolutely bursting with applicants who would be fantastic candidates. It's sort of like applying to a highly regarded undergraduate university. At a certain point, they could literally draw names from a hat and end up with a competent class of students. I mention this just because I think it is common for folks to assume that their child will place into AAP in Virgina or a Highly Gifted Center in Maryland. But imagine your child in a group of 100 kids who have had all the same advantages (highly educated parents, regular food and sleep, enrichment lessons, trips to the art museum). Will they be in the top 2-3 of those kids? [/quote]
