[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Believe it or not, TJ admissions do not validate whether a school is up to par or not-   [/quote]

As Nysmith specifically markets itself as a "school for the gifted", the rate at which their kids are admitted to TJ definitely validates whether or not their students are actually "gifted" and being educated accordingly.[/quote]

What is your definition of ‘gifted’? Is a child who writes at college level considered gifted ? Or a child whose artistic or musical ability surpasses the average considered gifted? Or are you holding on to a narrow definition of gifted which says every kid who cant do high school math cannot be considered gifted?[/quote]

And dear FCPS parent - what is your definition of gifted? AAP curiculum and SOL scores and having your child in every activity and enrichment class under the sun? So he gets into TJ?[/quote]
My definition is when my child’s neuropsychologist tells me such[/quote]

And who is that neuropsychologist? [/quote]
