[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]8:28 Here. Yes, I am for real. Some of the magnet students are what you would expect: studious, nice well behaved children. The others- well..... Many sabotage work since they know they will be pitted against each other for the coveted Blair spots. Many are 13 year old hackers and very much into things their parents don't know about, such as pirating and illegal use of electronics and computers (such as jail breaking iphones and downloading uppaid for programs.) Then, you have your socially awkward aspergers kids (30%?) that interrupt and are rude. Yes, it IS sometimes hard to tell them apart from the hacking, non aspergers kids that are rude, but you get my drift. Please don't think that because your kid is smart that they are perfect. They are not. Being smart comes with a whole different other set of issues, and my experience has shown me that the gifted kids are also gifted at being devious little crap asses. [/quote]

I am well aware of the social makeup of programs for gifted kids, as I have a child in the HGC and another in one of the middle school magnets.  Neither of them is a "devious little crap ass."

For the record, Aspergers kids are not "rude."  They are learning how to interact socially.

The "are you for real" question related to your seeming paranoia about the Blair environment.  If your child is such a special snowflake, then no, s/he should not be at Blair, magnet program or not, or in any other large public school environment.[/quote]
