[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are super angry at the name of the school ? Chill out and stop bashing the students who after all didn’t name the school. [/quote]

I don’t think anyone is “super angry” at the name of the school. Not on this thread and not IRL.  More like super amused at how pompous and arrogant the school is, even by DMV standards.  And at the downright ridiculousness of paying $30,000 a year so that you can declare your kid Gifted!!! multiple times a day.  When any kid who is slightly above average could can just do AAP for free.  But without a Gifted!!! Car magnet.

It’s kind of like when Trump takes to Twitter to declare that he has the Biggest Brain!  And the Best Words!  People aren’t laughing with Nysmith. (Which takes itself much too seriously to laugh anyway). They are laughing at it.

And no one is bashing the students. Their parents and the school Admins are the ones who insist on the “for the Gifted” being tacked onto every mention of the school’s name. I feel bad for them. It has to suck to keep saying the For the Gifted!! Part, especially once they hit middle school.   The Carson, RRMS, Longfellow kids think it’s a joke.  [/quote]
