[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents who stay at the base school are crazy. The Center guarantees your DC will be with other children who were actually screened and qualified to be in the program. In a year or two, no school-based program will be able to do that. Pressure is too great to have principals make class sizes even. They will push in more nonAAP students at the local school and the program will suffer. Some of you act like that won't make a difference, but it always does and will slow the class down. Centers are the way to go. Sorry.[/quote]

I think you can't say that as a general statement.  The center kids are mixed.  There are kids who are over prepped and don't actually pick it up quickly.  Virtually any kid could ace the NNAT or CogAt with that much practice.

Also, there are kids in Gen Ed that are very bright but for whatever reason don't test well or had a bad day or some teacher doesn't give the a good GBRS score.  They might actually do better and learn more quickly than some of the kids in the center.  I had a child at a center people here love to rave about and, while it was a good education, it was not a panacea.  In fact, people telling my kid how smart he was all day caused some problems I'm trying to fix right now.[/quote]
